Which is an advantage of images produced by space telescopes? A. Space telescopes respond to intense and distant radio sources by transmitting and amplifying waves to produce images. B. Space telescopes have a low resolving power, which helps them to capture more accurate images than Earth-based telescopes. C. Space telescopes orbit above Earth’s atmosphere, enabling them to produce clearer images than Earth-based telescopes.

The Hubble Space Telescope, orbiting above Earth’s atmosphere, eliminates the blurring effect of Earth’s atmosphere and permits the telescope to a. observe gamma rays. b. observe wavelengths from the near infrared to the near ultraviolet. c. receive radio wavelengths. d. transmit radar pulses that reflect off the surface of the moon.

Cameras that use adaptive optics provide higher-spatialresolution images primarily because a. they operate above Earth's atmosphere. b. deformable mirrors are used to correct the blurring due to Earth's atmosphere. c. composite lenses correct for chromatic aberration. d. they simulate a much larger telescope.
