Is the design of radio telescopes very similar to the design of refracting telescopes?
No, radio telescopes and refracting telescopes have different designs and functions. Radio telescopes are designed to detect radio waves from space, whereas refracting telescopes use lenses to bend light to create images of distant objects. While both types of telescopes have a common goal of observing the universe, their designs are optimized for different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
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 is the biggest telescope in Hawaii called?
There are two very similar 10-meter telescopes at the W.M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, on the Big Island of Hawaii.
How are reflecting and refracting telescopes different?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to collect and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes typically have a closed tube design which protects the mirrors from dust and other contaminants, while refracting telescopes are more prone to chromatic aberration. Reflecting telescopes are generally easier to manufacture at larger sizes compared to refracting telescopes.
What are reflecting and refracting telescopes designed for?
Light is found by reflecting telescopes and refracting telescopes are used to dected sound
How are microsopes and telescopes alike and how are they different?
microscopes can see thing close up and telescopes your can see thing far away
How are refraction telescopes and reflecting telescopes similar?
they the same
Do have pictures of Anton von Leeuwenhoek microsopes?

What other kinds of radiation are detected by telescopes?
Researchers use all of these: -- optical telescopes -- radio telescopes -- x-ray telescopes -- infra-red telescopes -- ultraviolet telescopes
What do ultraviolet telescopes see?
Ultraviolet telescopes are similar to optical reflecting telescopes, but their mirrors have special coatings that reflect ultraviolet light very well. Ultraviolet telescopes provide much information about interstellar gas, young stars, and the gaseous areas of active galaxies.
Most telescopes are telescopes?
refracting
What is the biggest telescope in Hawaii called?
There are two very similar 10-meter telescopes at the W.M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Are optical telescopes much bigger then radio telescopes?
No they are not bigger then radio telescopes at all.
How radio telescopes differ from optical telescopes.?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
What are the major types of optical telescopes?
Ground-based telescopes, and space telescopes. Or: refracting telescopes (main collector is a lens), and reflecting telescopes (main collector is a mirror). Or: Home telescopes (small ones), and professional ones (larger and more expensive).
