What is an instrument that collects electromagnetic radiaition from the sky and concentrates it for better observation called?
Optical telescope or Radio telescope.It could also be an X-ray telescope, but only on a spacecraft, since not much X-ray signalsurvives the trip through the atmosphere.
Which area of technology might be associated with telescope?
Optical engineering might be associated with a telescope.
What can you compare a human eye to an optical instrument?
A camera or a telescope (:
What year was the non optical telescope invented?
in the year 1941
The LEAST desirable location for an optical telescope is likely to be?
in a larqe city.
How is an optical telescope different from the others?
An optical telescope focuses and concentrates visible light; radio telescopes focus and concentrate electromagnetic radiation (which means, "light") in the radio part of the spectrum.
How are the telescopes Keck I and Keck II different from radio telescope?
They are optical telescopes.
How do radio telescope operate?
As far as I know, there is no "optical radio telescope". There are, separately, optical telescopes (which work with visible light), and radio telescopes (which work with radio waves).
Why doesnt the surface of a radio telescope have to be as flawless as the surface of a mirror in an optical telescope?
The surface of a radio telescope doesn't have to be as flawless as the surface of an optical telescope because the radio telescope is collecting radio waves, something that will not be affected by faults in the glass. Optical telescopes, on the other hand, are collecting light, where faults in the surface can interfere with the image.
How can you gaze into space?
Usually, by using your eye sight, optical telescope, or radio telescope.
Type of telescope?
Different telescopes utilize different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Two types of optical telescope are refracting and reflecting. There are also different kinds of radio telescope investigating different bandwidths from the infra red to the untra violet
What type of electromagnetic radiation is detected by an optical telescope?
