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 are telescopes for invisible EMR?

Telescopes for invisible electromagnetic radiation (EMR) are specialized instruments designed to observe wavelengths outside the visible spectrum, such as radio, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. These telescopes utilize various technologies, such as radio antennas or specialized detectors, to capture and analyze the corresponding EMR. By studying these wavelengths, astronomers can gather crucial information about celestial objects, their composition, temperature, and movements, which are not visible to the naked eye. Examples include radio telescopes, infrared observatories, and X-ray space telescopes.

Are optical telescopes much bigger then radio telescopes?

No they are not bigger then radio telescopes at all.


How radio telescopes differ from optical telescopes.?

Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.


What are the major types of optical telescopes?

Ground-based telescopes, and space telescopes. Or: refracting telescopes (main collector is a lens), and reflecting telescopes (main collector is a mirror). Or: Home telescopes (small ones), and professional ones (larger and more expensive).


Where are telescopes generally found?

At a store for telescopes!
