The primary infrared blocker, water vapor, is mostly in the lower atmosphere and the primary ultraviolet blocker, ozone, is located high in the atmosphere, far above mountaintops.

What is the Differential of ultraviolet ray from infrared ray?

Ultraviolet rays have more energy and a higher frequency, while an Infrared ray is essentially heat, which has less radiation, and a longer wavelength. Also, they are located lower of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.


What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?

The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum


Does white light contain ultraviolet and infrared light?

Not necessarily. It could, but as humans cannot perceive these colors, and white is based off of our perception of a color containing red, blue, and green, ultraviolet and infrared are not necessary to create "white".


Why is the hubble telescope better than other telescopes?

The Hubble Space Telescope is better than other telescopes because it is located in space, above Earth's atmosphere, which eliminates distortion caused by atmospheric turbulence. This allows for higher image resolution and clarity. Hubble also has a wide range of observational capabilities, including imaging in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light.


What is the biggest telescope in Hawaii called?

There are two very similar 10-meter telescopes at the W.M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, on the Big Island of Hawaii.


Which telescope must be mounted high to study the stars?

They all could benefit from higher altitude. The higher up you go, the thinner the atmosphere. The thinner the atmosphere, the clearer the view through the telescope. This is why space born telescopes produce such stunningly clear images.


Why do astronomers currently prefer orbiting telescopes over earth based telescopes?

Orbiting telescopes are located in the sky, where it is not affected by the turbulence of the atmosphere, while ground-based telescopes are located on the ground, where the atmospheric turbulence (the moving of air) is greater. This is also the reason that some telescopes are built on mountains where the atmosphere is thinner and turbulence is smaller.


Why can infrared telescopes operate from high flying aircraft and high mountain tops whereas Xray telescopes must be place in orbit?

Current telescopes detect different wavelengths of "light," which, in general, is called electromagnetic radiation. Earth's atmosphere is transparent to infrared radiation - it can easily transmit though our atmosphere. Therefore we can easily detect it from within Earth's atmosphere. However, X-Rays do not easily transmit through the Earth's atmosphere, so we must place our X-Ray detectors OUTSIDE of our atmosphere, ie. in orbit around the earth.
