Activity 2.4
The light Webb collects is in the infrared region of the spectrum. The human eye cannot detect these wavelengths (for example, we cannot see light emitted from a remote control we use to change the channel on a TV), so we need specialist instruments like those on Webb to detect and study what would otherwise be invisible.
