What else can I help you with?
What might you observe with a radio telescope that you couldn't observe with an optical telescope?
Object that only shine with radio waves and not in the visible spectrum an object hidden by dust that block visible light.
If you wanted a radio telescope to achieve the same angular resolution as a visible-light telescope it would need to be?
much larger in size because radio waves have longer wavelengths compared to visible light. A radio telescope would need a larger dish or antenna to achieve the same angular resolution as a visible-light telescope due to the longer wavelengths involved in radio astronomy.
Is the image produced by a radio telescope the same as the image produced by a optical telescope Explain.?
No, the images produced by a radio telescope and an optical telescope are not the same. Optical telescopes capture visible light and produce images that resemble what we see with the naked eye, revealing details of celestial objects in visible wavelengths. In contrast, radio telescopes detect radio waves, which can provide different information about astronomical objects, often revealing structures and phenomena that are invisible in optical wavelengths. The resulting images from both types of telescopes represent different aspects of the universe and require different methods of interpretation.
How is a radio telescope similar to a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
Radio telescopes, refracting telescopes, and reflecting telescopes all use mirrors or lenses to collect and focus incoming electromagnetic radiation. The main difference is the wavelength of the radiation they are designed to study – radio telescopes focus on radio waves, refracting telescopes focus on visible light, and reflecting telescopes focus on a variety of wavelengths including visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared.
What telescope does not use visual light energy?
Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.
How is a radio telescope different from a refracting telescope?
A radio telescope detects light in the form of radio waves and a refracting telescope detects light in the visible wavelengths
Can you study visible light using a radio telescope?
No.
How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
Why can radio telescope can see things that a telescope that detect visible light cant?
-- The source may be one that emits electromagnetic energy in the radio portion of the spectrum but little or no visible light. -- There may be material in the way, such as dust or gas, that absorbs visible light but doesn't absorb radio energy.
How do radio telescope 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 might you observe with a radio telescope that you couldn't observe with an optical telescope?
Object that only shine with radio waves and not in the visible spectrum an object hidden by dust that block visible light.
How does a radio telescope see objects which are too dim for an ordinary telescope?
Radio Telescope observe light of a different wavelength then optical light. Radio waves have a longer wavelength then visible light. Some interstellar objects barley emit any light in the visible spectrum but emit a significant amount of radiation in the radio spectrum. Radio telescopes enable us to view objects which emit in the radio spectrum.
If you wanted a radio telescope to achieve the same angular resolution as a visible-light telescope it would need to be?
much larger in size because radio waves have longer wavelengths compared to visible light. A radio telescope would need a larger dish or antenna to achieve the same angular resolution as a visible-light telescope due to the longer wavelengths involved in radio astronomy.
How is an optical telescope different from the others?
An optical telescope focuses and concentrates visible light; radio telescopes focus and concentrate electromagnetic radiation (which means, "light") in the radio part of the spectrum.
What is the difference between a radio telescope and a light telescope?
radio telescope detects radio waves and a light telescope views light waves.
When could a radio telescope and a light telescope be used together?
They usually ARE used together, because astronomers want to see if there is anything visible at the same place as this bright radio source in the sky.
Is the image produced by a radio telescope the same as the image produced by a optical telescope Explain.?
No, the images produced by a radio telescope and an optical telescope are not the same. Optical telescopes capture visible light and produce images that resemble what we see with the naked eye, revealing details of celestial objects in visible wavelengths.
