Telescopes can not detect any radiation for which they were not specifically built. For example, a radio telescope is specifically designed to detect radio waves. Also, telescopes can not detect radiation that is too faint for them. What is too faint depends on the capabilities of the telescope.

Are radio telescopes detect objects that optical telescopes cannot?
Yes, that is correct.
What is used to detect gamma rays?
By X-ray film or some kind of detector that is the digital equivalent.
What type of telescope detects energy that is outside of the visible spectrum?
There is a large amount of specific - NEW -information about the goings-on in the Cosmos. Each type of answer to this Question has a huge NASA project associated with it! Infra-red is IRAS, ultraviolet, radio waves, X-rays, Gamma-ray bursts - each has its own astounding collection of new discoveries.There are many telescopes that detect energy outside the visible spectrum. Some of the telescopes include infrared, Fresnel imagers, ultraviolet, and submillimetre telescopes.No, some telescopes are designed to work with ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves, radio waves, or even gamma rays.Well several telescopes detect invisible em radiations.. terrestrial telescopes in clude all Radio telescopes.. also there are several space telescopes which make observations in the invisible region of the em spectrum. eg. Chandra x-ray telescope, XMM- Newton, even Hubble space telescope (UV region).
Both reflecting and refracting telescopes are designed to do what?
uh i think reflect detects light and refract detect sound my name is tejas remember me everyone im famous.
In what ways are radio telescopes better than optical telescopes?
Both types of telescope collect and focus electromagnetic radiation for observational purposes, the difference is their band of observed frequencies. Radio telescopes are used for the radio frequencies ( ~3km - ~30cm) while optical telescopes are used for frequencies closer to visible light ( ~0.7μm - ~0.4μm). Optical telescopes may also be able to detect infrared and ultraviolet light.
Are radio telescopes detect objects that optical telescopes cannot?
Yes, that is correct.
Can Earth-based telescopes can detect all forms of light?
No. Many frequencies of light are absorbed by the atmosphere, and so Earth-based telescopes can't detect it. That's why space telescopes such as the Hubble are so valuable; they allow us to see in frequencies that we cannot detect here on Earth.
How can you detect the moon?
you look in the sky or use telescopes
How can you use a spectrometer to detect black holes?
You can't use spectrometers to detect black holes. Telescopes are the only way to detect them.
What do powerful telescopes detect around nearby stars?
They detect waves coming off of the closest stars
Why are there diiferent telescopes in space?
To detect different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What does a specialized non-optical telescope see?
There are telescopes used to detect radio waves and others to detect infrared radiation.
What can telescopes can detect?
stars in the elctro magnetic spectrum causing isotopes to minipulate
Can reflector telescopes detect objects in space that do not give enough light to be seen by an unaided eye?
Yes. For example, I can see the moons of Jupiter through my 6" reflector which I cannot see unaided.
What kind of star can be detected by radio telescopes?
Radio telescopes detect stars known as 'Pulsars'. They're very small and also known as neutron stars.
How radio waves detect signals from other parts of the universe?
they use telescopes that find certain wavelengths
A device used to detect radio waves from space?
they use radio waves to pick up some what satellite images or existance of things in space
