Can a telescope refract light?
The human eye is a refractor, but the telescope could be either refractor or a reflector.
What is an Optical Telescope for?
It is used to observe features of stars, planets, and other celestial objects by their visible light (generated or reflected).
Do hubble telescopes only uses visible light?
There are a number of instruments aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. The primary telescope does collect light in the visible spectrum.
What instruments use lenses or mirriors to collect and focus light from distant objects?
Telescope.
What is the telescope that uses lenses to bring visible light to a focus?
refractor
How is a radio telescope different from a refracting telescope?
A radio telescope detects light in the form of radio waves and a refracting telescope detects light in the visible wavelengths
What is the difference between a radio telescope and a light telescope?
radio telescope detects radio waves and a light telescope views light waves.
Can a telescope refract light?
The human eye is a refractor, but the telescope could be either refractor or a reflector.
How does a radio telescope see objects which are too dim for an ordinary telescope?
Radio Telescope observe light of a different wavelength then optical light. Radio waves have a longer wavelength then visible light. Some interstellar objects barley emit any light in the visible spectrum but emit a significant amount of radiation in the radio spectrum. Radio telescopes enable us to view objects which emit in the radio spectrum.

Can you study visible light using a radio telescope?
No.
What are objects that produce visible light are called?
Illuminated objects
A telescope that uses a set of lenses to gather and focus light from distant objects?
Refracting Telescope.
What instruments use lenses or mirriors to collect and focus light from distant objects?
Telescope.
What is the definition of a telescope?
The word telescope is from the Greek words meaning "distant" and "viewing" (looking). The telescope is : 1.) An arrangement of lenses or mirrors or both that focuses visible light, permitting better observation of distant objects. 2.) Any of various devices, such as a radio telescope, similarly used to detect and observe distant objects by their emission, transmission, reflection, or other interaction with invisible radiation.
What is the telescope that uses lenses to bring visible light to a focus?
refractor
