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.

Why are reflecting telescope and refracting telescope considered as optical telescope?
"Optical", in this case, simply means that they work with light.

HANS LIPPERSHEY INVENTED REFRACTING TELESCOPE.
What other things were developed using the refracting telescope design?

Is the difference between a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
A reflecting telescope uses mirrors while refracting telescopes uses lens. The refracting telescope also had chromatic aberration and bad resolution while the reflecting telescope had none of these.
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 kind of telescope did Galileo invent?
Refracting telescope
Is a telescope with incoming light passing through glass refracting?
refracting
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]
A refracting telescope produce an image using an?
A refracting telescope is a type of optical telescope. It was used in astronomical telescopes and spy glasses. Objective lens are used to produce the image.
