It bends the light with lenses and mirrors, so your answer would be yes.

What type of telescope does not use visual light energy?
Infrared the answer is a refracting telescope :p
How is a radio telescope different from a refracting telescope?
A radio telescope detects light in the form of radio waves and a refracting telescope detects light in the visible wavelengths
What is a refracting and a reflecting telescope?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that has a large thin lense at the front and a smaller thicker lense at the end where the eyepiece is. Refracting telescopes use lenses unlike reflecting telescopes that use mirrors to reflect the light. This is a good image of a refracting and reflecting telescope: [See related link]
Telescopes that use lenses for focusing light are called what telescopes?
That telescope you are refering to is called a refracting telescope.
Is a telescope with incoming light passing through glass refracting?
refracting
What do you call a telescope that uses a lens to focus light?
It is called a refracting telescope.
What is the name of the telescope that uses convex lenses to gather and focus light?
Refracting telescope.
What does the objective of a refracting telescope do?
It gathers the light coming from an object.
What is used to focus light in a refracting telescope?
Concave Mirrors
How do light microscopes differ from refracting telescope?
They don't. They are the same.
Why are reflecting telescope and refracting telescope considered as optical telescope?
"Optical", in this case, simply means that they work with light.
Does a telescope use a convex lens?
Reflecting telescopes don't use lenses - they use mirrors (hence 'reflecting'). Light goes in the top, hits a concave mirror at the bottom of the tube which makes the light converge when it is reflected, then bounces back up to the top where it hits a smaller secondary mirror, where it is directed down the eyepiece. Do you mean refracting telescopes? If so then these do use lenses, the amount depends on the telescope. The most simple form has an objective lens which focuses the light, and then an eyepiece which has a lens in it to magnify the image. The objective lens is convex on the side pointing out of the telescope, and is flat on the other side.
