Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
What else can I help you with?
Are optical telescopes much bigger then radio telescopes?
No they are not bigger then radio telescopes at all.
How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
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).
Do Optical telescopes have poorer resolution than radio telescopes?
Not necessarily.

How do optical telescopes and radio telescopes gather info about stars?
using radio waves it collects the data.
How are the telescopes Keck I and Keck II different from radio telescope?
They are optical telescopes.
Are radio telescopes detect objects that optical telescopes cannot?
Yes, that is correct.
Which of the following is not a property of optical telescopes?
Ability to detect radio waves is not a property of optical telescopes. Optical telescopes are designed to detect and focus visible light to form images of distant objects in space. Radio telescopes, on the other hand, are specifically designed to detect and study radio waves emitted by celestial objects.
Do Radio telescopes have poorer angular resolution than optical telescopes because radio waves have a much longer wavelength than optical waves?
Yes, that's correct. The longer wavelengths of radio waves mean that radio telescopes have poorer angular resolution compared to optical telescopes. This is because resolving power is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves being observed.
What items do they use in space that they use on earth?
Optical and Radio telescopes.
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
