What power of an optical telescope is most affected by light pollution?
A small aperture.
What is the most powerfull telescope in the world?
The Keck Observatory in Hawaii is a 10 meter optical telescope. Even larger is the Great Canary Telescope off the coast of Africa (west of Morocco) at 10.4 meters. EU scientists have requested permission to build a 40 meter optical telescope. The largest single radiotelescope dish is Arecibo.
What Instrument that makes small distant objects visible?
That sounds like the description of a telescope. However, please note that the distance objects need not be "small"; a galaxy, for example, is incredibly large, but most galaxies are so far away that we can still not see them without the help of a telescope.
How is the VLA similar to an optical telescope?
well,both telescopes let you look into the ground into the inner core and you see deep in he atmosphere which is space. Errr... The Very Large Array is an array of radio-telescopes, i.e. it detects radio emissions from stars and similar. An optical telescope as its name suggests, collects visible light. The similarity is that increasing the aperture increases the radiation-gathering power by a square-law. In an optical telescope this is achieved by a larger mirror (or lens but most large telescopes are reflecting.) The VLA uses a "synthetic aperture" to gain the advantages of increasing its gathering area without the cost and complexity of building a single, very large dish.
What are the parts and functions of a refracting telescope?
The most important part of a telescope is the telescope tube. Other parts are the viewfinder or optical finderscope, eyepiece, focuser, reflecting mirrors, refracting lenses, and the mount assembly.
Which state has the most telescopes?
Arizona is the US state with the most telescopes. The most famous telescope in AZ is the Large Binocular Telescope.
Name the optical instruments in order from least to most sensitive?
camera ,microscope, telescope are some knids of optical instruments
What are some similarities and differences between refracting and reflecting telescopes?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that has a large thin lense at the front and a smaller thicker lense at the end where the eyepiece is. Refracting telescopes use lenses unlike reflecting telescopes that use mirrors to reflect the light. This is a good image of a refracting and reflecting telescope: [See related link]
Which us state has the most telescopes in the world A.Colorado B.Arizona and C. Washington?
Arizona is the US state with the most telescopes. The most famous telescope in AZ is the Large Binocular Telescope.
Why are most large telescope reflecting telescope?
They are much shorter than refracting telescopes, hence, much cheaper to buy and easier to transport.
What kind of scientist would be most likely to look through a telescope?
An Astronomer
Can you use a telescope when raining?
Most optical devices are poorly waterproofed; I would not recommend it without keeping the telescope under an umbrella or in a protective casing.For astronomical use, of course, you won't see any stars through rainclouds....
