your mu said its different so it is
The difference is their wavelengths.
Telescopes that work with visible light, as opposed to other radiations such as infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, etc.
Their wavelength.
Infrared heat and infrared light are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, but they serve different purposes. Infrared heat is a type of energy that produces heat when absorbed by an object, while infrared light is a type of light that is not visible to the human eye but can be detected by certain devices.
wavelength and frequency. ultravoilet light has a short wave length and therefore a high frequency, while infrared light has a longer wave length and lower frequency
Radio telescopes, refracting telescopes, and reflecting telescopes all use mirrors or lenses to collect and focus incoming electromagnetic radiation. The main difference is the wavelength of the radiation they are designed to study – radio telescopes focus on radio waves, refracting telescopes focus on visible light, and reflecting telescopes focus on a variety of wavelengths including visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared.
One uses infrared light and the other uses radio waves. Hope this helps!
Visible light: Telescopes collect photons in the visible light spectrum to observe celestial objects. Infrared radiation: Telescopes sensitive to infrared radiation detect heat emitted by objects in space that are not visible in the visible light spectrum. Radio waves: Radio telescopes capture radio waves emitted by astronomical sources, providing valuable information about the universe.
Thermal imaging detects heat emitted by objects, while infrared imaging uses infrared light to create images. Thermal imaging is based on temperature differences, while infrared imaging captures the reflection of infrared light.
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.
Telescopes that can see images of objects through radiation include radio telescopes and infrared telescopes. Radio telescopes detect radio waves emitted by celestial objects, allowing astronomers to study phenomena like pulsars and cosmic microwave background radiation. Infrared telescopes capture infrared radiation, which is useful for observing cooler objects in space, such as dust clouds and distant galaxies. Both types of telescopes provide valuable insights into the universe beyond visible light.
