light hits tiny microscopic beads or sattelite dishes or cube corner prisms, then light is reflected back to original light source to create glowing effect.

Why are reflecting telescope and refracting telescope considered as optical telescope?
"Optical", in this case, simply means that they work with light.
What telescope collects light with a mirror?
The type of telescope is called a reflector. There are multiple subtypes of reflectors like a dobsonian, newtonian, RC, etc. Check out my youtube video on how to work with pictures taken from a telescope. youtu.be/M7-vLeVhM9g
Do refracting and reflecting telescopes use visible light to view the images?
Those terms are most commonly used for optical telescopes. However, the same design can be used for non-visible frequencies; for example, radio telescopes of the "satellite dish" variety are essentially reflecting telescopes.
How does the refracting telescope work?
It all depends on if the telscope is a refractor, or a reflector. Reflectors have a convex mirror that bends the reflection on to a flat mirror that angles the magnified reflection to the eyepiece. Refractors use to convex lenses that bend the image and light, magnifying the view to the eypiece.
Galileo was the first to use what instrument in his line of work?
Galileo did not invent the telescope. The Italian physicist and mathematician improved on an existing spyglass design to create a more powerful one: a refracting telescope that he then used to study the night sky.

How do refracting telescope works?
Refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to reflect things that's why it's called a reflecting telescope. Now back to refracting telescopes, they work exactly like magnifying glasses. It use a convex lens to bend light and bring it into focus, and a concave lens to magnify it.It also does that by directing light beams to meet at a focal point
How does the hobby-eberly telescope work?
The Hobby-Eberly Telescope works by refracting light through 1 meter long frames of glass, put together to form the lens, and uses the light to project images of what that light is coming from.
How do lenses work?
by refracting light
Binoculars work the same way as a?
refracting telescopes... :)
Binoculars work in the same way as a?
Refracting telescopes.
What are the largest reflecting telescopes?
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.
