the advantage of this is by using the telkescope you can collect and focus radiation and it do not suffer from chromatic aberation because all the wavelength will redlect off the mirror the advantage of this is by using the telkescope you can collect and focus radiation and it do not suffer from chromatic aberation because all the wavelength will redlect off the mirror the advantage of this is by using the telkescope you can collect and focus radiation and it do not suffer from chromatic aberation because all the wavelength will redlect off the mirror

What is radio telescope?

Telescopes cannot detect?
Telescopes can not detect any radiation for which they were not specifically built. For example, a radio telescope is specifically designed to detect radio waves. Also, telescopes can not detect radiation that is too faint for them. What is too faint depends on the capabilities of the telescope.
Are radio telescopes detect objects that optical telescopes cannot?
Yes, that is correct.
What type of electromagnetic wave can be detect?
all of them
Our eyes detect wavelengths as what?
The eyes of all seeing animals are restricted to a narrow range of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths from about 400 to 700 nm (nanometers). Within this range, not all animals can distinguish between different colors; some see in shades of grey. A healthy human eye, which does distinguish between different colors, normally detects wavelengths from 390 nm (violet) to 750 nm (red). Some animals can detect wavelengths slightly into the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, i.e. wavelengths shorter than 390 nm, that humans cannot detect. Colors that are visible to humans run from violet through blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, and finally red. Brown is a mix of red, yellow, and blue. White is a mix of all the colors at once. Black is not a color, but the lack of color because a black surface absorbs light without reflecting much of it back.
Why are there diiferent telescopes in space?
To detect different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum.
How radio waves detect signals from other parts of the universe?
they use telescopes that find certain wavelengths
Why can infrared telescopes operate from high flying aircraft and high mountain tops whereas Xray telescopes must be place in orbit?
Current telescopes detect different wavelengths of "light," which, in general, is called electromagnetic radiation. Earth's atmosphere is transparent to infrared radiation - it can easily transmit though our atmosphere. Therefore we can easily detect it from within Earth's atmosphere. However, X-Rays do not easily transmit through the Earth's atmosphere, so we must place our X-Ray detectors OUTSIDE of our atmosphere, ie. in orbit around the earth.

What electromagnetic radiation does the Australian Telescope detect?
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) is a radio telescope.If the telescopes are operating in "aperture synthesis mode" they will produce radio images.
How is seeing related to wavelength?
The human eye can only detect electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum, Typically, wavelengths of 390 to 750 nm fall within the visible spectrum. Radiation with these wavelengths are called visible light or simply light.
Which wave can your eye detect?
If you mean, "which wavelengths of light can the human eye detect," the human eye can see wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nanometers.
How can you detect the moon?
you look in the sky or use telescopes
Can Earth-based telescopes can detect all forms of light?
No. Many frequencies of light are absorbed by the atmosphere, and so Earth-based telescopes can't detect it. That's why space telescopes such as the Hubble are so valuable; they allow us to see in frequencies that we cannot detect here on Earth.
What is the difference between radio wave and x ray?
X-ray telescopes have to be sent into space away from the earths atmosphere and take in X-ray radiation into their multilayer mirrors and the ones sent by balloons are collecting the more penetrating X-rays but if its by shuttle they detect the softer x-rays. the x-rays are converted into a image. whereas the radio telescopes can be used from the ground as radio signals travel to the ground but they have to be huge massive things to collect the signals having a wide range and they collect the data in sound and make them into images by using the light from the universe.
