What does a radio telescope and a reflecting telescope have in common?

Reflective and Radio telescopes gather radiation at different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that they operate, visible light for the optical telescope and Radio frequencies for the Radio telescope. But in both cases, it's electromagnetic radiation. Radio telescopes have to capture the incoming energy that's needed to be above a certain noise and gets processed in electronic circuitry. The result is plotted out as picture of which each point indicates the location at which the beam of the antenna is pointed. It has a huge dish to reflect the incoming energy like that in a reflector telescope. The same terminology can be used in reflecting telescope, but the processing is done in a CCD camera positioned at the focus of the telescope.

In what way is a radio telescope like a reflecting telescope?
They both use a parabolic reflector.
In principle the dish of a radio telescope operates in the same manner as the?
Concave mirror of a reflecting telescope
How is a radio telescope similar to a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
They all collect and focus light and other forms of electromagnetic radation.
Does a reflecting telescope produce an upright image?
The most common type of reflecting telescope produces an inverted image. However, it's possible for a reflecting telescope to produce an upright image, depending on exactly how the optics are arranged.
Who made use of the reflecting telescope?
Isaac Newton invented the reflecting telescope.

What do hubble telescope and galileo's telescope have in common?
they're both reflecting telescopes

What is another type of telescope other than reflecting and refracting telescopes?
Radio

How is a radio telescope different from both a reflecting and reflecting telescope?
Well, its simple, there are two things that are in common.... both telescopes have a eye peice and a radio telescope doesnt.... theres more to it and the radio telescope looks way diffrent then the regular ones..... Wow! What a non-answer this person has given! For one thing, radio telescopes look more like satellite dishes than traditional telescopes. Rather than operating on the visible light spectrum as a reflecting or refracting telescope would, radio telescopes gather information from the infrared light spectrum - radiation waves. These radiation waves are collected to form a picture of whatever the radio telescope is looking at. I'm not a scientist; I'm not an astronomy student. I just did a little bit of research that the original answerer obviously didn't do.
What kind of telescope focuses light through a transparent lens?
An optical telescope (as distinct from, say, a radio telescope). It's possible that the answer was intended to be "a refracting telescope" but reflecting telescopes use lenses as well.
Who made use of the reflecting telescope?
Isaac Newton invented the reflecting telescope.

Why did Isaac Newton invent the telescope?
Newton did not invent the telescope, he invented the reflecting telescope. The reflecting telescope was a major improvement over the distorting refracting telescope.
