Red face TCAS question

I know absolutely diddelly squat about TCAS exept that it is designed to help avoid collisions.
Could someone please enlighten an iggerant early stude like me?
Do these devices only interrogate transponder equipped ac thereby making them "blind" to a gaggle of un-equipped gliders or what?
I do not recall reading that Herr Goering's outfit were so equipped Is there anything fitted to light GA that can detect just a lump of aluminium & inform the pilot?
Sorry if this is a stupid question & I will learn to know better in a week or two.
