Which of the following greatly improves the angular resolution of radio maps?

Increasing the size of the radio telescope greatly improves the angular resolution of radio maps. This is due to the relationship between the size of the telescope and the wavelengths of the radio waves being observed.


Do Radio telescopes have poorer angular resolution than optical telescopes because radio waves have a much longer wavelength than optical waves?

Yes, that's correct. The longer wavelengths of radio waves mean that radio telescopes have poorer angular resolution compared to optical telescopes. This is because resolving power is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves being observed.


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.


Can you study visible light using a radio telescope explain your answer?

No, a radio telescope is designed to detect radio waves, which have much longer wavelengths than visible light. Visible light cannot be studied using a radio telescope as it operates in a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum. To study visible light, astronomers typically use optical telescopes.


Do Optical telescopes have poorer resolution than radio telescopes?

Not necessarily.

How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?

Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.


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).


Why doesnt the surface of a radio telescope have to be as flawless as the surface of a mirror in an optical telescope?

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.


What is the purpose of interferometry?

Interferometry is used to combine signals from multiple telescopes to create a single image with higher resolution. This technique enables astronomers to study fine details of astronomical objects that would not be possible with a single telescope of the same size. It is commonly used in radio astronomy and optical astronomy.


How can you gaze into space?

Usually, by using your eye sight, optical telescope, or radio telescope.

Why does a single radio telescope have poorer angular resolution than a large optical telescope?

They are forming a picture based on sound waves arriving from a target in space, not an actual visual picture. They work better for determining what types of radiation is being emitted by the extraterrestrial object and conclusions can be made about it's makeup based on past data collected Check out the link provided for more information. Answer Resolution on a telescope is determined by the wavelength of the light they use. The smaller the wavelength the better the resolution. The wavelength of radio waves can vary from a couple of metres to several kilometers long, so they do not give a clear image. Also they are forming a picture based on radio waves coming from a target many lightyears away, so there is often a big margin of error.


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.
