Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
The non-optical telescope, primarily radio telescopes, were invented in the 1930s. One of the first and most notable radio telescopes was built by Karl Guthe Jansky in 1931.
The area of technology associated with telescopes is astronomy. Telescopes are used to observe and study celestial objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies in the night sky. They come in different types, including optical, radio, and space telescopes, each utilizing different technologies for observation.
That instrument is called a radio telescope. It collects and concentrates radio waves emitted by celestial objects in space, allowing scientists to study the universe beyond what is visible to the human eye.
Usually optical energy.
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.
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.
They are optical telescopes.
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).
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.
No, the images produced by a radio telescope and an optical telescope are not the same. Optical telescopes capture visible light and produce images that resemble what we see with the naked eye, revealing details of celestial objects in visible wavelengths. In contrast, radio telescopes detect radio waves, which can provide different information about astronomical objects, often revealing structures and phenomena that are invisible in optical wavelengths. The resulting images from both types of telescopes represent different aspects of the universe and require different methods of interpretation.
Usually, by using your eye sight, optical telescope, or radio telescope.
Different telescopes utilize different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Two types of optical telescope are refracting and reflecting. There are also different kinds of radio telescope investigating different bandwidths from the infra red to the untra violet

Radio Waves
There is a 3 metre radio telescope on the roof of Cardiff University. There is also an optical telescope at the site for the use of undergraduates.
No, a radio telescope is designed to detect radio waves, which have much longer wavelengths than visible light. Visible light cannot be studied using a radio telescope as it operates in a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum. To study visible light, astronomers typically use optical telescopes.
