Solved in 2 steps
- two reflecting telescopes have the same angular resolution, but one of them uses visible light and other uses infrared. Which telescope must have the larger primary mirror? visible light telescope or infrared telescope?The largest telescopes in the world are used to detect: a)x-ray. b)radio wave. c)visible light. d)ultraviolet.How do you measure distance using a terahertz imaging system?
- How does human vision's peak in color sensitivity relate to the Sun? Why can't long-wavelength radio observations be made from Earth's surface?In what regions of the electromagnetic spectrum is the atmos- phere transparent enough to allow observations from the ground?The light-gathering power of a telescope is directly related to the area of the telescope's primary mirror. A mirror with four times the diameter of another mirror collects how many times more light as the smaller mirror does in the same amount of time? (Numerical answer only, please.)
- Compare the light-gathering power of one of the 10-m Keck telescopes with that of a 0.5-m telescope.Geostationary satellites cannot be seen in a telescope from Albany because they are always directly over the Equator. True FalseWhy is it that radio telescopes need to be so larger or organized in arrays?
