What is the dameter of each of the twin Keck telescopes?
The telescopes' primary mirrors are 10 meters in diameter.
Can the Keck telescopes be used to see black holes?
The Keck telescopes are optical, so no. The only possible exception being the super-luminous flash of Hawking radiation that theoretically occurs in certain-sized black holes, although orbital telescopes have a much better chance of detecting this light. Most of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from black holes has energies in the range of x-rays, an energy range that the Keck telescopes aren't designed for. However, the most likely way that a black hole will be experimentally proven to exist is through the indirect method of measuring stellar orbits. Believe it or not, simple calculations from the ultra-precise, Keplerian orbital measurements of distant stars can be made to show the necessary size and mass of whatever object it is those stars are orbiting. If that size and mass fit the necessary conditions required of black holes, then there's your proof. The Keck telescopes are VERY well-equipped to make those kinds of measurements.
What is the biggest telescope in Hawaii called?
There are two very similar 10-meter telescopes at the W.M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, on the Big Island of Hawaii.
What is a Keplerian telescope?
what is a keck telescope; The world's premier optical telescope, located on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Completed in 1992, it is the first of a new generation of telescopes in which electronic controls constantly adjust a collection of small mirrors to compensate for atmospheric distortion to produce images of unprecedented clarity.
Is the design of radio telescopes very similar to the design of refracting telescopes?
no, reflecting telescopes.
How are the telescopes Keck I and Keck II different from radio telescope?
They are optical telescopes.
How are the Keck telescopes different from radio telescopes?
keck telescopes 1,2 tie the records for the largest telscopes in the world
How are radio telescopes different from the keck telescopes?
keck telescopes 1,2 tie the records for the largest telscopes in the world
How are radio telescopes different from keck telescopes?
Keck telescopes do not exist, Keck telescope refers to the WM Keck Observatory on Mt. Kea.The Keck Observatory is comprised of several opticalreflecting telescopes, whereas aradio telescope consists of a large parabolic solid metal or screen reflector with a radioreceiver at its focus, built to detect and measure radio waves.
How big are the mirrors on the keck telescopes?
10 m
How are the telescopes keck 1 and keck 2 different from a radio telescope?
I have no idea and it does not even say it in the textbook
