Question

Astronomical sources emit electromagnetic radiation at various wavelengths. some sources might emit just visible and infrared radiation. other sources might emit gamma, uv, visible, and infrared radiation. some of that radiation travels in the direction of earth and can be detected with the right telescopes placed in the right locations. some wavelengths can be read in the atmosphere. however, the majority of wavelengths are either read from space or earth's surface. which observations would require you to launch a telescope above the earth's atmosphere? please drag each observing mode below into either the ground-based (surface) zone or space-borne (space) zone, depending on the respective observing requirements.drag the appropriate items to their

Answer 1

The answer is;

Space Zone:

• - Far-infrared observations
• - Gamma-ray observations
• - X-ray observations
• - Far-ultraviolet observations

Surface Zone:

• - Visible observations
• - Radio observations

Launching telescopes to outer space to detect some spectrum of radiation is to avoid interference by the earth atmosphere and magnetic field, and secondary sources from the earth. Some of this spectrum produced by distant astronomical objects are very faint by the time they get to earth. Observing from space ensures to get the clearest picture.

Radiation waves and visible light can travel longer distances with little interference due to their long wavelengths. Therefore, they can reach the earth’s surface as compared to the electromagnetic spectrum of lower wavelengths (which are prone to interference distortion).
