Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When several radio telescopes are connected together, they work as a network to create a more powerful instrument that can receive and process radio signals from space. This network, also known as an interferometer, combines the signals from each individual telescope to form an image with higher resolution and sensitivity than any single telescope could achieve. Therefore, the correct choice is C, radio interferometer.
