Answer:

Radio waves and visible

Step-by-step explanation:

The atmosphere is completely transparent to visible light and radio waves. This enables observation of these wavelength from ground. So, ground based observatories are used to observe these wavelengths.

Other wavelengths like gamma rays, x-rays and UV rays are not able reach the ground. Thus, in order to observe these wavelengths, space observatories are set up.
