If the eye were sensitive to rays from other part of the electromagnetic spectrum could we see radio waves?

Question

Are there any instruments that turn electromagnetic waves into images?

I know the question isn't really clear but I don't mean the television. Aren't televistion rays just translations of signals sent through waves. I mean waves directly converted into images like x-rays.

Let's say radio waves for example. What would a picture of a star look like in radio waves?

Answer 1

Because radio waves have long wavelengths relative to the size of human cells (radio waves have wavelengths ranging from about a millimeter to as long as many kilometers long), it would be very difficult for our eyes to "see" images from the radio spectrum. This is similar to the reason why animals which use sonar must use very high frequencies. However, there are instruments, such as radio telescopes, which can form images based on radio waves. In fact, because different frequencies of the ElectroMagnetic spectrum (including radio waves) each are absorbed differently by interstellar dust and other objects, astronomers can often learn a lot by observing the radio emissions of a star.

Answer 2

radar's convert reflected radio waves to images

if our eyes and brains were designed to translate reflected radio waves into images in our minds in the same way light is, a picture of a star in radio waves would look the same as we see it now. Different radio wave frequencies would represent different colours.

I'm not sure but I think birds and sharks can "see" other wavelengths apart from light

Answer 3

Yes, by removing the amperage from the low frequency voltage generated by the brain or generating a non-amperage current as some rock do man would be able to see and record events far surpassing those of radio telescopes

Have you ever seen an occiliscope? Open Windows Media Player, Choose Visualization; Bars and Waves, Play a song.

Answer 5

there is research in this area and there are pictures so to speak, but I can not remember if I saw them on the tube or the net,, maybe it was just a science fiction movie. Good morning fist int the air, are we having fun today??

you are a very funny lady.

lady on her knees with one fist in the air is loved by God and with two open hands is accepted as a fellow warrior for the cause she does not yet understand

still cute leather lady with fist in the air, is intelligent and has a fine mind and she is very amusing

hope you are having a nice day.

Answer 6

this is one in all those radiation in easy. it starts off out like this: radio, microwave, infarred. then the easy turns into seen to human beings after infarred. particular animals can see infarred. after seen easy comes ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma ray.

Answer 7

yeah, i guess.
