What other things were developed using the refracting telescope design?
the reflecting telescope was!!
In what ways are radio telescopes better than optical telescopes?
Both types of telescope collect and focus electromagnetic radiation for observational purposes, the difference is their band of observed frequencies. Radio telescopes are used for the radio frequencies ( ~3km - ~30cm) while optical telescopes are used for frequencies closer to visible light ( ~0.7μm - ~0.4μm). Optical telescopes may also be able to detect infrared and ultraviolet light.
Can you study visible light using a radio telescope explain your answer?
Yes, because it must be very large in order to attain the resolution of optical telescopes.
What did Galileo dicover by using a telescope?
Galileo discovered stars by using the telescope?
Which is not a discovery made by Galileo using the telescope?
The Amazon River was not discovered by Galileo using a telescope.
What is the advantage of using a non-Optical telescope over an optical telescope?
See things that don't shine in the visible spectrum.
How can you gaze into space?
Usually, by using your eye sight, optical telescope, or radio telescope.
A refracting telescope produce an image using an?
A refracting telescope is a type of optical telescope. It was used in astronomical telescopes and spy glasses. Objective lens are used to produce the image.

What has been found using a optical telescope?
Apart from the obvious planets etc in our solar system we can also see back in time

What telescope using lenses to make an image?
The reflecting telescope
Why are mirrors used in a telescope?
Mirrors are used in a telescope because they bounce images off of them instead of bending images like refracting telescopes. This ensures that the image is focuses. If you were using a refracting telescope (no mirror) the colours would be bent at different times making an unfocused image.
Investigating energy waves other than light is usually accomplished by using a what?
Radio Telescope
