Why are reflecting telescope and refracting telescope considered as optical telescope?
"Optical", in this case, simply means that they work with light.
What kind of light does an optical telescope collect?
INvisible light
Largest visible light telescope?
Currently, the largest optical telescope is the Gran Telescopio Canarias in the Canary Islands, Spain.
The light from distant stars and other objects can be distorted in many ways which type of optical telescope best avoids the problem caused by distortion?
Space Telescope such as the Hubble Space Telescope
What are the Uses of reflecting light?
Mirrors and telescopes use light reflection.
Why doesnt the surface of a radio telescope have to be as flawless as the surface of a mirror in an optical telescope?
The surface of a radio telescope doesn't have to be as flawless as the surface of an optical telescope because the radio telescope is collecting radio waves, something that will not be affected by faults in the glass. Optical telescopes, on the other hand, are collecting light, where faults in the surface can interfere with the image.

Who invented the optical light telescope?
me

How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
How is an optical telescope different from the others?
An optical telescope focuses and concentrates visible light; radio telescopes focus and concentrate electromagnetic radiation (which means, "light") in the radio part of the spectrum.
How do radio telescope 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).
Which type of telescope uses lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light?
Optical!!
Largest visible light telescope?
Currently, the largest optical telescope is the Gran Telescopio Canarias in the Canary Islands, Spain.
Can you Define magnification in an optical telescope?
Allows you to gather more light from a distant object.
What instrument would be used to study light coming from the constellation Ursa Major?
an optical telescope
Why do non optical telescopes work better on earth?
They don't. All earth bound telescopes, optical or not, must deal with a number of issues. But what do you mean by "better"? A radio telescope is better suited to pick up radio waves than an optical telescope, but an optical telescope is better for visible light. They each serve their purpose better than the other.
