Placing the telescopes in valleys is believed by some people to slightly reduce radio interference, but when radio telescopes are placed in valleys, it is usually because they are so large and the mountains work as supports, to reduce the cost.
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.
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.
Not necessarily.
Radio telescopes use parabolic dishes to collect and focus radio waves from space. The dish reflects the radio waves to a receiver, which then converts the waves into electronic signals that can be processed and analyzed.
Yes, that is correct.
Optical telescopes are placed high to avoid having to look through the thickest part of the atmosphere. Radio telescopes are place in valleys to avoid the effects of man-made electrical noise in the telescope.
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
No they are not bigger then radio telescopes at all.
A radio telescope is a form of directional radio antenna used in radio astronomy. The same types of antennas are also used in tracking and collecting data from satellites and space probes. In their astronomical role they differ from optical telescopes in that they operate in the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum where they can detect and collect data on radio sources. Radio telescopes are typically large parabolic ("dish") antennas used singly or in an array. Radio observatories are preferentially located far from major centers of population to avoid electromagnetic interference (EMI) from radio, TV, radar, and other EMI emitting devices. This is similar to the locating of optical telescopes to avoid light pollution, with the difference being that radio observatories are often placed in valleys to further shield them from EMI as opposed to clear air mountain tops for optical observatories.
Radio telescopes. I believe the largest INDIVIDUAL radio telescope has a diameter of about 300 meters. Moreover, several of those are often connected to work in unison.
Radio telescopes gather data from radio sources and they target the radio frequency part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Valleys Radio was created on 1996-11-23.

That refers to researching the Universe by observing radio waves. Special telescopes - radiotelescopes - are built for this purpose; they are often quite large.

using radio waves it collects the data.
