Question

The 300-meter radiotelescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico
(Fig. 25–33), is the world’s largest radiotelescope, but
many other radiotelescopes are also very large. Why are
radiotelescopes so big? Why not make optical telescopes
that are equally large? (The largest optical telescopes have
diameters of about 10 meters.)

Rico, uses radio waves (Fig. 22-8)
instead of visible light.
