Does an optical telescope and a radio telescope of the same size have the same angular resolution?
no i hate when people just say no
How do you improve the resolution?
Get a bigger telescope. Resolution is proportional to the size of the telescope. But due to the atmosphere, there is a practical limit beyond which it makes no difference what the telescope size is.
For a telescope in space above the distortion due to the Earth's atmosphere the angular resolution of the telescope is?
I hate how this question comes up on google with no answer
If you wanted a radio telescope to achieve the same angular resolution as a visible-light telescope it would need to be?
much larger.slightly larger.in space. Correct answer is MUCH LARGER. ;-)
What is the size of the smallest feature visible on Jupiter at 4.2 AU The hubble space telescope has an angular resolution of 0.05?
150
How does sensor resolution relate to its angular resolution?
The angular size of the smallest features that the telescope can see ;-)
What components of a telescope will produce the worst angular resolution?
the lens and eye piece
What type of single telescope currently in operation has the highest angular resolution?
Optical

What is the purpose of interferometry?
It allows two or more smaller telescopes to achieve angular resolution of a much larger telescope.

Interferometry uses two or more telescopes to achieve?
a light-collecting area equivalent to that of a much larger telescope.an angular resolution equivalent to that of a much larger telescope.both the light-collecting area and angular resolution of a much larger telescope.Correct answer: an anguar resolution equivalent to that of a much larger telescope. ;-)
How does angular resolution change as observed wavelength gets longer?
For telescopes of the same size: if the wavelength gets longer, the maximum theoretical angular resolution gets larger (i.e., worse).
What is resolution of a telescope and What physical process limits it?
The resolution of a telescope is the telescope's ability to determine if two points are seen as two points or one smudgy point. Resolution, or resolving power is measured as an angle below which differentiation cannot be made. The resolution of a telescope is a consequence of the wave nature of light. Because waves can add to each other, or cancel each other, in a process called diffraction, the aperature of the telescope must be as large as possible compared to the distance to the objects and the wavelength of the light to give the best performance. An equation which describes the resolution of a telescope is
