Keck telescopes do not exist, Keck telescope refers to the WM Keck Observatory on Mt. Kea.
The Keck Observatory is comprised of several opticalreflecting telescopes, whereas a
radio telescope consists of a large parabolic solid metal or screen reflector with a radio
receiver at its focus, built to detect and measure radio waves.

How do optical radio telescopes operate?
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).
What can radio telescopes do that optical telescopes cant?
No. The gain of the antenna ... which translates directly into angular resolution ... depends on the wavelength (frequency) of operation.The 2.5 meter optical parabolic reflector (telescope) on Mt. Wilson is a titan. 2.5 meter parabolic radio antennas are routinely used in intercity microwave communication but would be quite useless for serious radio-astronomy, as they are such shrimps at radio wavelengths.
What type of radio sounds do radio telescopes hear?
Stars broadcast from x-rays down through infrared, and radio telescopes take advantage of this by tuning in to the emissions, dubbed "radio" to differentiate from "optical" here, not because the star is necessarily being monitored in our "radio" spectrum.
Why do astronomers continue to build even larger telescopes?
Radio telescopes allow us to see things that can't be seen in visible light. And vice versa, optical telescopes can show things that are not visible in radio telescopes. So, the information from both kinds of telescopes really complements each other.
The resolution of radio telescopes has been improved by what spectrographs charge-coupled devices photometers or interferometers?
interferometers because charge-coupled devices are only used in optical telescopes
How are the telescopes Keck I and Keck II different from radio telescope?
They are optical telescopes.
How are the Keck telescopes different from radio telescopes?
keck telescopes 1,2 tie the records for the largest telscopes in the world
How are radio telescopes different from the keck telescopes?
keck telescopes 1,2 tie the records for the largest telscopes in the world
How are the telescopes keck 1 and keck 2 different from a radio telescope?
I have no idea and it does not even say it in the textbook
What is the location of the keck telescopes?
The Keck telescope has a 10m mirror.
How big are the mirrors on the keck telescopes?
10 m
What is the dameter of each of the twin Keck telescopes?
The telescopes' primary mirrors are 10 meters in diameter.
How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
How radio telescopes differ from optical telescopes.?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
Are optical telescopes much bigger then radio telescopes?
No they are not bigger then radio telescopes at all.
What type of telescope does not use optics?
Telescopes can be made to see in almost any part of the electromagnetic spectrum: visible light, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, or radio waves. The largest telescopes are those for radio waves - in Arecibo there is one with a diameter of 300 meters. I am not sure whether it is the largest, though.
What is the difference between light radio and infrared telescopes?
your mu said its different so it is
