The surface of a radio telescope doesn't have to be as flawless as the surface of an optical telescope because the radio telescope is collecting radio waves, something that will not be affected by faults in the glass. Optical telescopes, on the other hand, are collecting light, where faults in the surface can interfere with the image.

Does harry styles care what girls look like?

How is a radio telescope different from both a refracting and a reflecting telescope?

Well, its simple, there are two things that are in common.... both telescopes have a eye peice and a radio telescope doesnt.... theres more to it and the radio telescope looks way diffrent then the regular ones..... Wow! What a non-answer this person has given! For one thing, radio telescopes look more like satellite dishes than traditional telescopes. Rather than operating on the visible light spectrum as a reflecting or refracting telescope would, radio telescopes gather information from the infrared light spectrum - radiation waves. These radiation waves are collected to form a picture of whatever the radio telescope is looking at. I'm not a scientist; I'm not an astronomy student. I just did a little bit of research that the original answerer obviously didn't do.

Is the Hubble telescope better than a ground-based telescope?

yes, because it doesnt have the atmosphere in the way, the atmosphere distorts the images taken by ground based-telescopes because of the refraction of light. The hubbles telescope can provide clearer and more accurate images without this barrier in the way.

How far does the hubble telescope travel?

He doesnt travel.. The Hubble telescope is stationairy and only in space to bypass the atmosphere. The Hubble telescope maginfies so much, that if you are beneath the atmosphere, you get a blurry image. Like looking through a dirty window. So they shot it in space. Beyond the "dirty window".

It doesnt effect the earths surface, it affects the the earth surface by expanding cracks in the ground.


Why do some isomers lack optical activity?

Some isomers lack optical activity because they have a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry that results in the molecule being superimposable on its mirror image. This makes them achiral and unable to rotate the plane of polarized light, thus lacking optical activity.
