What is the dameter of each of the twin Keck telescopes?
The telescopes' primary mirrors are 10 meters in diameter.
What is the location of the keck telescopes?
The Keck Observatory is located near the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii. It consists of two telescopes, Keck I and Keck II, which are among the largest and most scientifically productive telescopes in the world.
How are the telescopes Keck I and Keck II different from radio telescope?
They are optical telescopes.

Which ground-based telescopes has a collecting surface that combines more than a dozen mirrors?
Keck Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii
How are radio telescopes different from keck telescopes?
Keck telescopes do not exist, Keck telescope refers to the WM Keck Observatory on Mt. Kea.The Keck Observatory is comprised of several opticalreflecting telescopes, whereas aradio telescope consists of a large parabolic solid metal or screen reflector with a radioreceiver at its focus, built to detect and measure radio waves.
How are the telescopes keck 1 and keck 2 different from a radio telescope?
I have no idea and it does not even say it in the textbook
What is the biggest telescope in Hawaii called?
There are two very similar 10-meter telescopes at the W.M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, on the Big Island of Hawaii.
What advantage do reflecting telescopes hAve over refracting telescopes?
One advantage of reflecting telescopes is that the mirrors can be very big. Large mirrors allow reflecting telescopes to gather more light than refracting telescopes do. Another advantage is that curved mirrors are polished on their curved side, which prevents light from entering the glass. Thus any flaws in the glass do not affect the light. A third advantage is that mirrors can focus all colors of light to the same focal point. Therefore, reflecting telescopes allow all colors of light from an object to be seen in focus at the same time.
How big can a mirror get?
Mirrors can be manufactured in various sizes depending on the requirements and limitations of the production process. Large mirrors can be several meters in diameter and are typically used for telescopes, solar concentrators, and architectural purposes. The largest mirrors, such as those used in telescopes, can be over 8 meters in diameter.
What are the daily uses of concave mirrors?
Magnifying mirrors, make-up mirrors, telescopes
