Question

Describe the various technologies used to observe the universe in all the wavelegnth regimes of the electromagnetic spectrum. your description should include the various types of telescopes.

Answer 1

Orbiting gamma-ray and x-ray telescopes observe the highest-energy portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Ultraviolet telescopes (orbiting, airborn, or on high mountaintop observatories) observe the UV portion of the spectrum.

Visible-light telescopes, both ground-based and orbital, are used to observe the visible portion of the spectrum.

Infrared telescopes are used to observe the IR portion of the spectrum. IR telescopes require cooling with liquid nitrogen and can be airborn, orbiting, or on high-altitude ground sites.

Ground-based radio telescopes monitor the radio portion of the spectrum.
