Radio telescopes are often connected together to do interferometry What is the primary problem overcome by radio interferometry?

The primary problem overcome by radio interferometry is the limited resolution of individual telescopes. By combining signals from multiple telescopes, interferometry creates a virtual telescope with a larger diameter, which improves the resolution and allows astronomers to see finer details in the radio sources being observed.


What is the dameter of each of the twin Keck telescopes?

The telescopes' primary mirrors are 10 meters in diameter.


What type of telescope concave mirrors to gather light and view the image?

Reflecting telescopes use concave mirrors to gather and focus light to form an image. The primary mirror in a reflecting telescope collects incoming light and reflects it to a secondary mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece or camera for viewing. This design is commonly used in telescopes like Newtonian reflectors and Cassegrain telescopes.


Why are near infrared telescopes located on mountaintops and ultraviolet telescopes in Earth orbit?

Mountaintops are ideal for near-infrared telescopes because the high altitude reduces atmospheric interference and light pollution. Ultraviolet telescopes are placed in Earth orbit to avoid absorption of ultraviolet light by Earth's atmosphere, which allows for clearer observations of objects emitting in the ultraviolet spectrum.


What and where are the largest optical telescopes in use today?

The largest optical telescope in use today is the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory in La Palma, Canary Islands. It has a primary mirror diameter of 10.4 meters (34 feet). Another large optical telescope is the Keck Observatory in Hawaii with two telescopes, each with a primary mirror diameter of 10 meters (33 feet).

Formed by combining a primary color with a secondary color?

A tertiary color.


Why are primary colors termed so?

Because they are pure, basic colors, not created by combining other colors. Each of the secondary colors is formed by combining two of the primary colors. The primary colors are red, blue and yellow. The secondary colors are purple, green and orange.


Secondary colors are created by combining?

Primary colors. Red Blue Yellow


Combining equal amounts of the three primary pigments produces?

black color.


What is meant by primary liver cancer?

A primary cancer is one that starts in a particular organ, rather than spreading from elsewhere.
