For which of these wavelengths would it not be as beneficial to put a telescope in orbit as a space telescope to detect because of its transparency through Earth's atmosphere.
A) Ultraviolet
B) X-Ray
C) Gamma rays
D) Radio

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radio waves have long wavelengths that are not significantly affected by Earth's atmosphere, which means ground-based telescopes can already detect them without the need for orbiting telescopes. However, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma ray wavelengths are absorbed by Earth's atmosphere, making it difficult or impossible to detect them from the ground. Therefore, orbiting telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope are essential for observing in these wavelengths.
