"Sound waves" is the only item on that list that is not a form of electromagnetic
radiation, so no form of 'telescope' works for sound.

What telescope does not use visual light energy?
Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.
Which types of electromagnetic radiation can be detected using telescopes on Earth?
They can detect radio waves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays.
What do most telescopes collect and focus?
All telescopes collect and focus light. Some concentrate on visible light while others look for infra-red, radio and microwave radiation.
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.
Which of this telescopes does not use visual light energy?
Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Also, ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.
How radio telescopes differ from optical telescopes.?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
Why are radio telescopes not located on top of mountains like the visible light telescopes?
It is not necessary to do so, as atmosphere doesn't distort radio signals as much as visible light.
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).
Which of the following forms of light can be observed with telescopes at sea level?
visible light and radio waves
What telescope does not use visual light energy?

Why telescopes on earth only analyze radio ultraviolent and visible light waves?

What do most telescopes collect and focus?

What type of telescope does not use optics?
Telescopes can be made to see in almost any part of the electromagnetic spectrum: visible light, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, or radio waves. The largest telescopes are those for radio waves - in Arecibo there is one with a diameter of 300 meters. I am not sure whether it is the largest, though.
