Yes a telescope collects electromagnetic radiation (light) an then brings this light to a focus so that the source of the light is magnified.

The larger the diameter of the telescope, the more light it collects making the image at the focus brighter so as well as magnifying the image a telescope also allows one to see fainter objects.

Electromagnetic waves consist of changing electric and magnetic fields and do not require a medium to propagate. These waves can travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space, and include forms of radiation like light, radio waves, and X-rays.


Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by?

Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by radiation. This process involves the transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation. These waves move through the vacuum of space and carry away thermal energy from the Earth's surface and atmosphere.

What is the movement of heat through outer space?

Heat in outer space is primarily transferred through radiation, as there is no medium like air or water for conduction or convection. Objects in space will emit thermal radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves to transfer heat energy. Without a medium to conduct heat, radiation becomes the dominant method for transferring heat across space.
