question 1 1 pts what is the best wavelength to observe young stars being born? gamma - rays blue light ultraviolet visible infrared
Young stars are often surrounded by dust clouds. Infrared light can penetrate these dust clouds better than gamma - rays (too high energy, not relevant for star birth observation), blue light (scattered by dust), ultraviolet (also affected by dust and not optimal for this), and visible light (blocked by dust). Infrared astronomy is crucial for observing regions of star formation as it can detect the heat from young stars and the warm dust around them.
