Question

In 2-3 sentences, explain an example in which electromagnetic radiation other than visible light can be used to show us more about an object than visible light alone.
Hint: Consider some of the examples that were provided within this unit on The Universe that emit other types of radiation besides visible light waves. Make it sound like an 8th grader wrote it

Answer 1

One cool example is how scientists use infrared radiation to see through clouds or dust in space. Unlike visible light, which can get blocked, infrared can pass through those obstacles, helping us learn more about things like stars forming in dense areas. This means we can find hidden objects and understand more about what’s happening in the universe!
