Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
What else can I help you with?
What year was the non optical telescope invented?
The non-optical telescope, primarily radio telescopes, were invented in the 1930s. One of the first and most notable radio telescopes was built by Karl Guthe Jansky in 1931.
Which area of technology might be associated with telescope?
The area of technology associated with telescopes is astronomy. Telescopes are used to observe and study celestial objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies in the night sky. They come in different types, including optical, radio, and space telescopes, each utilizing different technologies for observation.
What is an instrument that collects electromagnetic radiaition from the sky and concentrates it for better observation called?
That instrument is called a radio telescope. It collects and concentrates radio waves emitted by celestial objects in space, allowing scientists to study the universe beyond what is visible to the human eye.
What is the type of electromagnetic energy detected on a reflector telescope?
Usually optical energy.
A refracting telescope produce an image using an?
A refracting telescope is a type of optical telescope. It was used in astronomical telescopes and spy glasses. Objective lens are used to produce the image.
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
Instrument used in studying heavenly bodies?
Optical or radio telescope
What are types of space telescope?
Gamma, X-ray, Optical, and Radio
What type of electromagnetic radiation is detected by an optical telescope?
Radio Waves
Is there a telescope in Cardiff?
There is a 3 metre radio telescope on the roof of Cardiff University. There is also an optical telescope at the site for the use of undergraduates.
Why do non optical telescopes work better on earth?
They don't. All earth bound telescopes, optical or not, must deal with a number of issues. But what do you mean by "better"? A radio telescope is better suited to pick up radio waves than an optical telescope, but an optical telescope is better for visible light. They each serve their purpose better than the other.
Can you study visible light using a radio telescope explain your answer?
No, a radio telescope is designed to detect radio waves, which have much longer wavelengths than visible light. Visible light cannot be studied using a radio telescope as it operates in a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum. To study visible light, astronomers typically use optical telescopes.
