Please refer to the link below. This will take you to a web site that discusses this. Multiwavelength astronomy is dedicated to observing the various spectrums of radiation emitted. That is called its light gathering ability. The 'aperture size' determines the amount of light (radiation) a telescope gathers This site might help you obtain a more in depth answer imagine.gsfc.NASA.gov IT IS CALLED "LIGHT GRASP" in an optical telescope and "RF GAIN" in a radio-telescope.

What was the name of the telescope to find Neptune?
I'm not sure the telescope itself had a "name". Neptune was first observed (by someone who recognized it for a planet) at the Berlin Observatory in 1846. Galileo's drawings make it clear that he had seen it over 200 years earlier in 1612 and 1613, but did not recognize it as anything other than just another star.
