In what ways are radio telescopes better than optical telescopes?
Both types of telescope collect and focus electromagnetic radiation for observational purposes, the difference is their band of observed frequencies. Radio telescopes are used for the radio frequencies ( ~3km - ~30cm) while optical telescopes are used for frequencies closer to visible light ( ~0.7μm - ~0.4μm). Optical telescopes may also be able to detect infrared and ultraviolet light.
Why do you use only two types of telescopes here on earth optical or radio telescopes?
Radiation other than light and radio waves hardly penetrates Earth's atmosphere.
What are refractor lens?
Good telescopes don't use glass lenses for magnification, because they refract different colors is slightly different angles (known as prism effect), but they use spherical mirrorsinstead. Telescopes with lenses have the advantage of being smaller, cheaper and lighter.Therefore refracting telescopes use lenses, and reflecting telescopes use mirrors.
What are the Uses of reflecting light?
Mirrors and telescopes use light reflection.
What are examples of optical telescopes?
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is an example of an optical telescope, as are the Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. the Hale Telescope at the Palomar Observatory in California and the Hooker 100 inch Telescope at the Mt Wilson Observatory, also California.
What items do they use in space that they use on earth?
Optical and Radio telescopes.
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 are the largest telescopes used for observations in the visible region of the spectrum?
The largest telescopes that use visible light are reflector telescopes.
What are the largest telescopes used for observations in the visible region of the spectrum called?
The largest telescopes that use visible light are reflector telescopes.
How do optical radio telescopes 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 type of telescopes use the visible spectrum to see the universe?
An optical telescope.
What design variants might one see in an optical telescope?
Some design variants you may see in an optical telescope include telescopes that fold or divert the optical path with mirrors and telescopes that use special lenses to enhance the images.
What is the difference between optical and radio?
Optical telescopes use either lens' (refractory) or mirrors (reflective) to magnify light. Radio telescopes use dishes to pick up radio waves. sensors on the dishes collect the waves and turn them into a picture
What are the tools scientist use observe objects in the night sky?
Scientists use telescopes, such as optical telescopes, radio telescopes, and space telescopes, to observe objects in the night sky. They also use instruments like spectrographs and cameras to analyze the light from celestial objects and gather data for research and study.
What type of optical telescopes use mirrors to focus light?
concave mirrors, and curved mirrors
Why do you use telescopes today?
to enjoy the beauty of the stars.
What tool do astronomers use to study space?
they use space probes,satellites,and of coarse,telescopes.
