X-ray telescopes can be used to study high-energy phenomena in the universe, such as black holes and supernova remnants, which emit X-rays that reveal details about their temperature, composition, and dynamics that are not detectable in visible light. Similarly, radio telescopes can capture radio waves from pulsars, providing insights into their rapid rotation and magnetic fields, offering a comprehensive understanding of these objects beyond what visible light reveals.
In 2-1 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.
