What and where are the largest optical telescopes in use today?
Ccd's and in large telescopes
Do Optical telescopes have poorer resolution than radio telescopes?
Not necessarily.
What kinds of telescopes are used to see stars in visible light?
Optical telescopes.
Are radio telescopes detect objects that optical telescopes cannot?
Yes, that is correct.
Do Radio telescopes have poorer angular resolution than optical telescopes because radio waves have a much longer wavelength than optical waves?
yes
How radio telescopes differ from optical telescopes.?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
Are optical telescopes much bigger then radio telescopes?
No they are not bigger then radio telescopes at all.
