Can telescopes collect EM waves other than visible light?

Yes, telescopes can collect electromagnetic (EM) waves beyond visible light. Different types of telescopes are designed to observe various regions of the EM spectrum, including radio, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. For instance, radio telescopes capture radio waves, while X-ray telescopes are equipped to detect high-energy X-rays emitted by celestial objects. This capability allows astronomers to study a wide range of phenomena and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the universe.
