CoachAbility to detect radio waves is not a property of optical telescopes. Optical telescopes are designed to detect and focus visible light to form images of distant objects in space. Radio telescopes, on the other hand, are specifically designed to detect and study radio waves emitted by celestial objects.

Which is not a property of optical telescopes?
Ability to detect radio waves. Optical telescopes are designed to detect and study light in the optical spectrum, not radio waves.
Do Optical telescopes have poorer resolution than radio telescopes?
Not necessarily.
Are radio telescopes detect objects that optical telescopes cannot?
Yes, that is correct.

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.
