Suppose you want to search for brown dwarfs using a space telescope. Will you design your telescope to detect light in the ultraviolet or the infrared part of the spectrum? Why?

Answer:

infrared part of the spectrum

Step-by-step explanation:

brown dwarfs are relatively cool and have temperatures of about 2000 K emitting their light in the infrared and practically none in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum.
