A telescope collects information by gathering and focusing light or other electromagnetic radiation from distant objects in the universe. It uses lenses or mirrors to magnify the images of these objects, allowing astronomers to observe and study their properties. By analyzing the light captured—such as its intensity, wavelength, and spectrum—scientists can gain insights into the composition, distance, and behavior of celestial bodies. Different types of telescopes, such as optical, radio, and infrared telescopes, are designed to collect specific ranges of electromagnetic waves.
What else can I help you with?
How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
Instrument used to collect important information about star's composition from the earth?
Spectroscopy is the instrument used to collect important information about a star's composition from Earth. By analyzing the light emitted by a star, spectroscopy can reveal the star's chemical elements and their abundance.
What is a telescope that uses a mirror to collect light emitted by distant or faint objects?
This type of telescope is often referred to as a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, and can be short and wide. They have an eyepiece that extends at a right angle from the body, and have a disk in the middle of the lens, behind which is the mirror.
An optical instrument that forms enlarged images of distant objects is called a?
telescope. It uses lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects, allowing them to be seen in greater detail and clarity.
What are the instrument use by the astronomer to gather information about stars?
telescope
What type of telescope that uses only lenses to collect light to form a image?
simplest possible telescope
How is an optical telescope useful?
It allows us to collect more light than we can with our eyes, thus gathering information we could not otherwise gather.
What does a telescope collect from space?
Light. Or some other radiation.hi
What type of electromagnetic radiation does an infrared telescope collect?
infra-red telescope is a telescope in which you can look at everything in the waves of infra-red.
How much more light does a 3-m-diameter telescope collect than a 1-m- diameter telescope?
32 = 9.
What telescope took information on Neptune?
The Hubble space Telescope
How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
What limits the ability of the 5-m telescope at Palomar Observatory to collect starlight?
The Hale Telescope is a 5-m reflecting telescope at the Palomar Observatory. Some factors that limit its ability to collect starlight are light pollution, turbulence in the atmosphere, daylight and clouds.
Instrument used to collect important information about star's composition from the earth?
Spectroscopy is the instrument used to collect important information about a star's composition from Earth. By analyzing the light emitted by a star, spectroscopy can reveal the star's chemical elements and their abundance.
What limits the ability of the 5-m telescope to collect starlight?
diffraction (by a circular apperture)
What instruments use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant?
A telescope uses lens and mirrors to collect and focus light from distant object.
What does an ultraviolet telescope collect?
Ultraviolet light. That's why it's called so.
