How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
What form of energy travels as waves from the sun to the earth?
Answer: RadiationThis includes visible light, gamma rays, UV rays and other waves. They can be seen in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The Sun transfers most of its heat by means of?
Convection and radiation (internally) and radiation (externally).
Which electromagnetic waves are used for communication in space?
radio waves
How do signals travel in space?
By use of electromagnetic waves, usually microwaves or radio waves.
Which form of energy are optical telescopes used to study?
Electromagnetic waves (or particles, if you wish). These can be photons (light), x-rays and other similar waves.
What do telescopes do with electromagnetic radiation?
Telescopes focus electromagnetic radiation for closer observation.
How do optical radio telescopes 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 is the difference between radio nd optical telescopes?
Optical telescopes use either lens' (refractory) or mirrors (reflective) to magnify light. Radio telescopes use dishes to pick up radio waves. sensors on the dishes collect the waves and turn them into a picture
Light waves are classified as what waves?
Optical light waves are "Electromagnetic" waves. The colour seen is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves where the oscillation is 90 degrees to the direction of travel (unlike sound waves which are longitudinal).
What are not detected by telescopes Radio waves sound waves X rays Visible light?
"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.
How radio telescopes differ from optical telescopes.?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
Which electromagnetic waves enables colours of an object to be seen and recognized?
Visible light.
Are the sun's rays mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves
Why can the electromagnetic spectrum only be seen in space?
Due to the atmosphere and atmospheric pressure on the planet Earth the viewing of the Electromagnetic spectrum will or can be seen. It will be seen as a blur due to these atmospheric problems, hence the reason Nasa has puts telescopes in space and on high elevated places.
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
How are electromagnetic waves transfered?
Electromagnetic waves are transferred by electromagnetic radiation.
