Why were astronomers interested in studying radio waves in the 1980 and 1990?

B


Why are radio telescopes able to operate all the time?

That is because radio waves pass through clouds so radio astronomers do not have to wait for a clear sky.


In a radio telescope radio waves strike a large curved?

In a radio telescope, radio waves strike a large curved dish, which reflects and focuses the waves onto a receiver at the focal point. The receiver then converts the radio waves into electrical signals that can be processed and analyzed by astronomers. This allows scientists to study celestial objects and phenomena in the radio frequency range.


What two regions of the electromagnetic spectrum are best utilized by ground based astronomers?

Ground based astronomers utilize the optical and radio regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Optical wavelengths provide high-resolution images of celestial objects, while radio wavelengths help study objects that emit radio waves, such as galaxies and pulsars. By combining observations from both regions, astronomers can gain a more complete understanding of the universe.


How do astronomers study the very outer regions of the universe?

radio waves. Of course they also use very big optical telescopes.


What wavelengths can astronomers detect from earth?

Only those which aren't absorbed too much by the atmosphere. Those are visible light, and radio waves.


What do astronomers use to map the shape of the Milky Way?

Astronomers use radio telescopes, infrared telescopes, and space-based telescopes to map the shape of the Milky Way. They measure the positions and motions of stars, gas, and dust to create a three-dimensional map of our galaxy.


Does mechinal waves have radio waves?

no, mechanical waves are not radio waves


Why do astronomers observe the galaxy at millimeter wavelength?

Millimeter wavelengths are short frequency radio waves astronomers use because they can see gases and other phenomena not visible in visible light. MM wavelengths are usually used where the air is dry so water vapor can't scatter the waves.


Which forms of electromagnetic radiation can interfere with the work of astronomers?

Light pollution from urban areas and artificial sources like street lights can interfere with astronomers' ability to observe celestial objects clearly. Additionally, radio waves from telecommunications and other sources can disrupt radio telescopes that astronomers use to study the universe.


How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?

Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.


How do radio telescopes work to detect and study celestial objects in space?

Radio telescopes work by collecting radio waves emitted by celestial objects in space. These radio waves are then converted into electrical signals that can be analyzed by scientists. By studying these signals, astronomers can learn more about the composition, structure, and behavior of celestial objects such as stars, galaxies, and black holes.
