How have telescopes been designed to enable scientists to detect these different wavelengths?
– Telescopes have been made bigger, so they can detect more wavelengths.
– Telescopes have been made with materials to block out specific wavelengths.
– Special telescopes have been made to be sensitive to specific wavelengths.
– Telescopes have been made with more mirrors to collect more wavelengths.
Telescopes have been designed with special materials and configurations to be sensitive to specific wavelengths. For example, optical telescopes are designed to observe visible light, while radio telescopes are built to detect radio waves. Additionally, infrared telescopes use mirrors and detectors that are sensitive to infrared wavelengths. This targeted design allows scientists to study different cosmic phenomena that emit or reflect various types of electromagnetic radiation.
