Supernova explosions are known to release a large amount of energy. A detector for which type of electromagnetic radiation is most suitable to study a supernova explosion?

Gamma ray

Infrared

Radio wave

Visible light

Although it would seem that the human eye gives us a pretty accurate view of the world, we are literally blind to much of what surrounds us. A whole Universe of color exists, only a thin band of which our eyes are able to detect; an example of this visible range of color is the familiar rainbow (an example of a "spectrum"). The optical spectrum ranges in color from reds and oranges up through blues and purples. Each of these colors actually corresponds to a different energy of light. The colors or energies of light that our eyes cannot see also have names that are familiar to us. We listen to radios, we eat food heated in microwaves, we have X-rays taken of our broken bones. Yet many times we do not realize that radio, X-ray, and microwave are really just different energies of light!
