Which of the following wavelength regions can be studied with telescopes on the ground?

A) radio, visible, and very limited portions of the infrared and ultraviolet regions

B) all light with wavelengths longer than ultraviolet wavelengths

C) all light with wavelengths shorter than infrared wavelengths

D) infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light

Out of the given options, Radio, visible and very limited portions of the infrared and ultraviolet regions are the wavelength regions which can be studied with telescopes on the ground.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

A telescope is a device working on the principles of optics to magnify a distant object and make it visible to the observer. The incident ray on the distant object differs according to the medium through which it should transmit and also keeping the prevention of loss of data in mind.

So, rays like visible lights and radio waves can easily get transmitted as well as received by the ground based telescope with negligible losses while most of the infrared and ultraviolet rays can get absorbed by the earth's atmosphere.

The other rays of the electromagnetic spectrum cannot enter the earth's atmosphere to get received by the ground telescopes, so for them the telescopes are present in space. Thus, Option A is correct.
