Telescopes collect and focus on light from a very far away source. In other words, if the sky was one single, flat, 1 by 1 plane, a telescope would focus only on the light coming from an area that's smaller, such as .01 by .01.

Forces and motion waves energy and energy transfer light and the electromagnetic spectrum Which area of technology might be associated with this item safety device?
forces and motion
How can ionOsphere can help us communicating?
The ionosphere has the useful property of reflecting radio waves, thereby enabling us to send radio signals past the horizon. [copied from an answer to a substantively identical question]
Can Electromagnetic radiation travel through a vacuum at a constant speed regardless of wavelength?
Yes. That is why we see light from distant stars, and use radio telescopes to see even older (more distant) structures. It might be easier to imagine light has having particle properties and wave properties both. Light arrives in discrete packets of energy (particles), yet can be "guided" and "directed" like waves.
Electromagnetic radiation in order of decreasing energy per photon?
The types of electromagnetic radiation in order of decreasing energy per photon is gamma rays, visible light, microwaves, and radio waves. All of the rays include cosmic rays, gamma rays, x-rays, ultra violet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.
What are some examples of compressional waves?
Mechanical waves are waves that need a medium to go through. Some examples are ocean waves, seismic waves, and sound waves. Also when a slinky moves back and forth or at right angles it is like a wave.
How do optical telescopes and radio telescopes gather info about stars?
using radio waves it collects the data.
What instrument used to gather information by bouncing radio waves off their surface?
the instrument used to gather radio waves is a special dish called a parabolic dish
How radio telescopes differ from optical telescopes.?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
What are radio waves detected by?
Radio Telescopes and radio wires
How do radio telescopes discover unknown bodies in space?
with radio waves
Do Radio telescopes have poorer angular resolution than optical telescopes because radio waves have a much longer wavelength than optical waves?
yes
How can radio telescopes be improved?
the radio waves be improved by using the bigger signals
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
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).
What do scientists use to study radio waves traveling through space?
Radio telescopes.
Neither X rays nor radio waves can penetrate the earth's atmosphere?
False. For some bands of radio waves the atmosphere is transparent. Radio waves can penetrate to the ground. That's why we have radio telescopes on the Earth.
