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.

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 radio nd optical telescopes?

Optical telescopes use either lens' (refractory) or mirrors (reflective) to magnify light. Radio telescopes use dishes to pick up radio waves. sensors on the dishes collect the waves and turn them into a picture


What type of scientist studies radio waves?

A scientist who studies radio waves is typically an astrophysicist or radio astronomer. They use radio telescopes to observe and analyze radio emissions from celestial bodies in order to learn more about the universe.


What type of telescope does not use visual light energy?

Radio telescopes do not use visual light energy. Instead, they detect radio waves emitted by celestial objects in space. These telescopes are used to study various astronomical phenomena, such as pulsars and galaxies.


Are telescopes only used at night?

No. They are generally used to look at stars at night, because that's when it's easiest to see them. But some telescopes are used at sea and there's also a type of telescope called a radio-telescope that searches the stars for radio waves during daylight hours.


What type of telescope detects energy that is outside of the visible spectrum?

There is a large amount of specific - NEW -information about the goings-on in the Cosmos. Each type of answer to this Question has a huge NASA project associated with it! Infra-red is IRAS, ultraviolet, radio waves, X-rays, Gamma-ray bursts - each has its own astounding collection of new discoveries.There are many telescopes that detect energy outside the visible spectrum. Some of the telescopes include infrared, Fresnel imagers, ultraviolet, and submillimetre telescopes.No, some telescopes are designed to work with ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves, radio waves, or even gamma rays.Well several telescopes detect invisible em radiations.. terrestrial telescopes in clude all Radio telescopes.. also there are several space telescopes which make observations in the invisible region of the em spectrum. eg. Chandra x-ray telescope, XMM- Newton, even Hubble space telescope (UV region).


What type of telescope uses and antenna and receiver?

A radio telescope uses an antenna and receiver to detect radio waves emitted by astronomical objects. Unlike optical telescopes that observe visible light, radio telescopes capture radio frequencies, allowing astronomers to study phenomena such as pulsars, quasars, and cosmic microwave background radiation. The collected data is then processed to create images or spectra of the observed objects.


Which type of telescope uses an antenna and receiver?

A radio telescope uses an antenna and receiver to detect radio waves emitted by astronomical objects. These telescopes are essential for studying objects that emit radio waves, such as pulsars, quasars, and radio galaxies.
