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.
What do you call a telescope that uses a lens to focus light?
It is called a refracting telescope.
Is a telescope with incoming light passing through glass refracting?
Yes, a telescope with incoming light passing through glass does refract. The glass lenses or mirrors in a telescope refract light as it passes through, focusing the light to form an image.
What is the name of the telescope that uses convex lenses to gather and focus light?
Refracting telescope.
How do light microscopes differ from refracting telescope?
They don't. They are the same.
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
Why are reflecting telescope and refracting telescope considered as optical telescope?
"Optical", in this case, simply means that they work with light.
A telescope that uses a set of lenses to gather and focus light from distant objects?
Refracting Telescope.
How do you use a refracting telescope?
use mirrors instead of lenses
