The Spitzer Space Telescope, launched in 2003, was equipped
to observe in the infrared, at wavelengths of 3 to 180 micrometers
(3,000 to 180,000 nanometers).
The liquid helium that it carried, to cool its cryogenic detectors, was
exhausted sometime in 2009, so the band of wavelengths is probably
less now.

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can the human eye detect?
VIsual light
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is used to detect broken bones?
x-ray
What is part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
One example is the visible spectrum : all the colors that you can see.
In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is the resonant frequency of electrons in glass?
I think in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is Radiant light energy?
This is part of the Electromagnetic radiation spectrum, visible light occupies a small part of this spectrum, but all wavelengths have the same physical properties
What part of the spectrum could i detect with your sense of sight?
The visible spectrum
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can the human eye detect?
VIsual light
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is used to detect broken bones?
x-ray
What does the spectrum in the electromagnetic spectrum do?
I suppose you mean the visible spectrum, only a small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The visible spectrum is basically all of the colors the human eye can detect.
What is the difference between electromagnetic spectrum and telescope?
A telescope helps you to see objects in the distance better. The electromagnetic spectrum is a collection of all waves. Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum albeit a very small part. X-rays, gamma rays, infra-red, ultra-violet, etc. are all members.
What type of telescope does not use optics?
Telescopes can be made to see in almost any part of the electromagnetic spectrum: visible light, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, or radio waves. The largest telescopes are those for radio waves - in Arecibo there is one with a diameter of 300 meters. I am not sure whether it is the largest, though.
Where are the camuy caves?
Camuy Puerto Rico on the southwestern part of the Island, minutes from the Arecibo radio telescope known as the Arecibo observatory controlled and ran by Cornell University. This section of the island is rich in limestone formations with many sink holes and caves. The Camuy caves are famous for their beauty and the presence of the Camuy River flowing through the cave.
How is an optical telescope different from the others?
An optical telescope focuses and concentrates visible light; radio telescopes focus and concentrate electromagnetic radiation (which means, "light") in the radio part of the spectrum.
What is the difference between a telescope and satellite?
A telescope helps you to see objects in the distance better. The electromagnetic spectrum is a collection of all waves. Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum albeit a very small part. X-rays, gamma rays, infra-red, ultra-violet, etc. are all members.
Is the only part of electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye detect?
That's the spectral band that scientists have dubbed "visible light".
What kind if light does the spitzer telescope study?

Why are telescope that detect non optical useful for studying objects in space?
Visible light is a very narrow range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Even audible sound, at the very bottom, is part of this EM spectrum. Radio and other types of 'scopes are designed to 'see' these other ranges, often with surprising results. The space telescope employs more than visible light capabilities, as do many Earth and space-bound telescopes. Looking at Saturn in visible light is quite breath-taking, but in ultra-violet (UV) a remarkable geometric pattern is visible on one of its poles.
