Which of the following is not a property of optical telescopes?
Ability to detect radio waves is not a property of optical telescopes. Optical telescopes are designed to detect and focus visible light to form images of distant objects in space. Radio telescopes, on the other hand, are specifically designed to detect and study radio waves emitted by celestial objects.
Do Optical telescopes have poorer resolution than radio telescopes?
Not necessarily.
Are radio telescopes detect objects that optical telescopes cannot?
Yes, that is correct.
How light and radio telescopes are different?
Light telescopes, such as optical telescopes, focus on visible light to observe celestial objects, while radio telescopes detect radio waves emitted by these objects. The design of optical telescopes involves lenses or mirrors to collect and concentrate light, whereas radio telescopes use large parabolic dishes to capture and amplify radio signals. Additionally, optical telescopes are limited by atmospheric conditions and light pollution, while radio telescopes can operate effectively through clouds and at night. This leads to different applications and discoveries in astronomy for each type of telescope.
Do Radio telescopes have poorer angular resolution than optical telescopes because radio waves have a much longer wavelength than optical waves?
Yes, that's correct. The longer wavelengths of radio waves mean that radio telescopes have poorer angular resolution compared to optical telescopes. This is because resolving power is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves being observed.

How radio telescopes differ from optical telescopes.?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
Are optical telescopes much bigger then radio telescopes?
No they are not bigger then radio telescopes at all.
Do Optical telescopes have poorer resolution than radio telescopes?
Not necessarily.
How are the telescopes Keck I and Keck II different from radio telescope?
They are optical telescopes.
Are radio telescopes detect objects that optical telescopes cannot?
Yes, that is correct.
How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
What is catadioptric telescope?
Basically, the catadioptric telescope is just one of the 3 main types of the optical telescopes.The other 2 main types of optical telescopes are the refracting telescopes and the reflecting telescopes.
What other kinds of radiation are detected by telescopes?
Researchers use all of these: -- optical telescopes -- radio telescopes -- x-ray telescopes -- infra-red telescopes -- ultraviolet telescopes
What do Optical telescopes gather?
beams of light
What limits the power of an optical telescopes?
aperture
How do optical radio telescopes 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).
