Telescopes that observe nonvisible types of light work on the same principles as visible telescopes, but they might require different technologies. For instance, instead of lenses or mirrors, a radio telescope (such as the one in the figure) uses technology similar to the television satellite dish you might install on your roof. As with visible light telescopes, bigger radio telescopes yield greater light-gathering power and better angular resolution. However, the angular resolution (θ) of a telescope also depends on the...
