Why are telescopes that detect non-optical radiation useful for studying objects in space?

Visible light is a very narrow range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Even audible sound, at the very bottom, is part of this EM spectrum. Radio and other types of 'scopes are designed to 'see' these other ranges, often with surprising results. The space telescope employs more than visible light capabilities, as do many Earth and space-bound telescopes. Looking at Saturn in visible light is quite breath-taking, but in ultra-violet (UV) a remarkable geometric pattern is visible on one of its poles.

Are radio telescopes detect objects that optical telescopes cannot?
Yes, that is correct.
How telescopes use to view objects?

Why do scientists use telescopes?
Telescopes collect electromagnetic radiation. This radiation may be at wavelengths that the human eye can not see thereby giving us images of the universe that would otherwise be invisible to us. With visible radiation the telescope gathers more light than can pass naturally through the pupil of the human eye and therefore concentrates the light allowing us to see fainter objects or to magnify and resolve features on distant objects. A telescope can also be used as a platform on which to attach other scientific instruments (such as spectrometers) allowing scientists to analyse the information about distant objects contained in the light from those objects.
What does a telescope gather from objects in space?
The only type of thing that telescopes gather is light! But from the characteristics and position/s of the light/s we may infer great things.
How do scientist study invisible radiation from objects in space?
They study visible light by using optical telescopes.
How are telescopes used?
Telescopes are made to view distant objects that cannot be seen clearly with the human eye. Many telescopes only collect light that is visible to the human eye, but others can collect different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation including x-rays, ultraviolet, and infrared.

Does science have a method or instrument for detecting black holes?
Black holes are distant objects found usually in the center of galaxies; therefore they are studied by astronomers, using telescopes, just as all astronomical objects are studied. Of course, black holes are studied indirectly. They do not emit radiation (or not enough radiation to view; there is Hawking radiation) but they have a strong effect on other nearby objects, which can be observed.
Are radio telescopes detect objects that optical telescopes cannot?
Yes, that is correct.

Why big telescopes?
Large telescopes have improved resolution over small telescopes and as such can gather clearer images of objects further away.
Objects to see stars?
Your eyes, binoculars, telescopes.

State the difference between optical and non-optical telescopes?
Optical measures visible light, Radio measures electromagnetic radiation in that part of the spectrum corresponding to radio waves. Same with X-ray telescopes and x-rays. Optical is the kind you look through.

What objects can be mounted on a tripod?
cameras and telescopes can mount a tripod
