-- The source may be one that emits electromagnetic energy in the radio portion

of the spectrum but little or no visible light.

-- There may be material in the way, such as dust or gas, that absorbs visible light

but doesn't absorb radio energy.

Are Gamma rays and radio waves both higher frequency than human vision can detect?

No. Visible light is in between those particular forms of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are lower frequency (longer wavelength) than visible light. Gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.


How is a radio telescope different from both a refracting and a reflecting telescope?

Well, its simple, there are two things that are in common.... both telescopes have a eye peice and a radio telescope doesnt.... theres more to it and the radio telescope looks way diffrent then the regular ones..... Wow! What a non-answer this person has given! For one thing, radio telescopes look more like satellite dishes than traditional telescopes. Rather than operating on the visible light spectrum as a reflecting or refracting telescope would, radio telescopes gather information from the infrared light spectrum - radiation waves. These radiation waves are collected to form a picture of whatever the radio telescope is looking at. I'm not a scientist; I'm not an astronomy student. I just did a little bit of research that the original answerer obviously didn't do.


If one of the waves represents infrared light and one wave represents visible light which wave represents visible light?

Without any other information, the one with a shorter wavelength/higher frequency will be visible light.


Which electromagnetic wave has a frequency closest to that of visible light?

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The visible part has wavelengths of 7000 to 4000 Angstroms. The frequencies are 4.0 - 7.0 x 1014 Hz.


What color are UV rays?

Colour only applies to visible light. UV rays are not visible.

Can you study visible light using a radio telescope explain your answer?

No, a radio telescope is designed to detect radio waves, which have much longer wavelengths than visible light. Visible light cannot be studied using a radio telescope as it operates in a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum. To study visible light, astronomers typically use optical telescopes.

How is a radio telescope different from a refracting telescope?

A radio telescope detects light in the form of radio waves and a refracting telescope detects light in the visible wavelengths


Can you study visible light using a radio telescope?

What space telescope detects visible light from objects in space?

Hubble


What is some things to look at with your ordinary telescope?

There are literally millions of things that can be viewed through your telescope, but among the easiest are Venus, which is visible either just after the sun sets or just prior to it's rise (depending on the time of year) and is the brightest natural light in the sky, and Jupiter, which is usually visible directly above and slightly to the south (if you live in the northern hemisphere), and is visible to the naked eye. When viewed through a telescope, you can even see the moons.


Does the hubble telescope reflect light?

Yes. The Hubble Space Telescope is frequently visible in the evening skies as it passes overhead.


What two parts of the electromagnetic spectrum can a rattlesnake detect?

They can detect both visible light and infrared radiation.


What is visible light and what portion can humans detect?

Visible light waves are the electromagnetic waves which are detected by the human eye. They make up only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. So, visible light is any light in which the human eye can detect.


What is the distance. Of range of visible light?

The galaxy MACS0647-JD is 13.3 billion light-years away from the Earth and was visible to the Hubble Space Telescope.


Do hubble telescopes only uses visible light?

No, Hubble Space Telescope uses a variety of wavelengths to observe the universe, including ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. This allows it to capture a wide range of astronomical phenomena and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the cosmos.
