How do telescopes for invisible wavelengths differ from those for visible light?

Visible Light telescopes use mirrors or lenses. The images are viewed by the naked eye. Telescopes operating in invisible wavelengths use Electromagnetic sensors. The data is then converted into an image that can be viewed by us.

Reflecting telescopes differ from refracting telescopes in having?
A mirror instead of and objective lens (:
How does an emission spectrum of a gas in a discharge tube differ from a white light spectrum?
It differs by that white light spectrum is continuous and consists of light of all wavelengths. Emission spectrum is not continuous. It consists of bright lines at specific wavelengths, with complete darkness between them.
How did supernova SN 1987A differ from most other observed supernovae?
It was visible with the naked eye.It did not originate within the Milky Way.
What are the differences between Ultraviolet and Infrared radiations?
Frequencies and wavelengths (APEX)
How is sunlight composed of energy that is visble to humans and energy that is not visble to humans?
It has different wavelengths
How radio telescopes differ from optical telescopes.?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
How does visible light differ from other EM waves?
It has wavelengths very roughly in the octave between 350 and 700 nanometers.
Reflecting telescopes differ from refracting telescopes in having what?
Two large objective lenses.
Reflecting telescopes differ from refracting telescopes in having?
A mirror instead of and objective lens (:
What is the difference between radio nd optical telescopes?
Optical telescopes use either lens' (refractory) or mirrors (reflective) to magnify light. Radio telescopes use dishes to pick up radio waves. sensors on the dishes collect the waves and turn them into a picture
How does the wavelength of the infared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum differ from that of the visible portion of the spectrum?
I have no clue Laugh out loud
How do the wavelengths of each type of radiation differ from One another?
They are arranged by longest to shortest
What instrument to look at the sun?
Solar telescopes are used by professional astronomers both on earth and on satellites. These instruments differ from other optical telescopes because they do not need to collect light and also must deal with the heat from the object they focus on. The telescopes are very large.
How does a refracting telescope differ from other types of telescopes?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image. This is different from other type of telescopes because it has a objective lens.
How does an emission spectrum of a gas in a discharge tube differ from a white light spectrum?
It differs by that white light spectrum is continuous and consists of light of all wavelengths. Emission spectrum is not continuous. It consists of bright lines at specific wavelengths, with complete darkness between them.
How do the types of energy that make up the EM spectrum differ?
Different types of electromagnetic waves have different frequencies; different wavelengths; and different energies per photon.
What exists in the sky that can differ in size shape and color that all consist of visible tiny water droplets or crystals?
clouds
