Question
The cosmic background in this region of the electromagnetic spectrum shows that the star formation rate peaked at a redshift between one and two. Certain objects that primarily emit in this region are classified with spectral types L, T, or Y. This region dominates black body radiation from interstellar dust. To observe this region, one telescope uses a five-layer sunshield composed of Kapton E to protect its (*) hexagonal mirrors. To observe galaxies at unprecedented redshifts, the James Webb Space Telescope observes in this region. Brown dwarfs emit in this region because they are cooler than main sequence stars. For 10 points, name this region of the electromagnetic spectrum that precedes visible light in frequency. ■END■
ANSWER: infrared [or IR; accept cosmic infrared background; accept near infrared; accept near IR; accept far infrared; accept far IR; prompt on CIB] (The second sentence describes the stellar classification of red and brown dwarfs.)
