What is another type of telescope other than reflecting and refracting telescopes?
Radio
Type of telescope?
Different telescopes utilize different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Two types of optical telescope are refracting and reflecting. There are also different kinds of radio telescope investigating different bandwidths from the infra red to the untra violet
How are reflecting and retracting telescopes different?
A reflecting telescope is different from a refracting telescope because a reflecting telescope uses a concave lens, a plane mirror, and a convex lens. While a refracting telescope uses two lens.
How does a refracting telescope differ from other types of telescopes?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image. This is different from other type of telescopes because it has a objective lens.
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.
What kind of telescope focuses light through a transparent lens?
An optical telescope (as distinct from, say, a radio telescope). It's possible that the answer was intended to be "a refracting telescope" but reflecting telescopes use lenses as well.
How is a radio telescope similar to a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
Radio telescopes, refracting telescopes, and reflecting telescopes all use mirrors or lenses to collect and focus incoming electromagnetic radiation. The main difference is the wavelength of the radiation they are designed to study – radio telescopes focus on radio waves, refracting telescopes focus on visible light, and reflecting telescopes focus on a variety of wavelengths including visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared.
What kind of telescope did Galileo invent?
Refracting telescope
How is a radio telescope different from both a refracting and a reflecting telescope?
Well, its simple, there are two things that are in common.... both telescopes have a eye peice and a radio telescope doesnt.... theres more to it and the radio telescope looks way diffrent then the regular ones..... Wow! What a non-answer this person has given! For one thing, radio telescopes look more like satellite dishes than traditional telescopes. Rather than operating on the visible light spectrum as a reflecting or refracting telescope would, radio telescopes gather information from the infrared light spectrum - radiation waves. These radiation waves are collected to form a picture of whatever the radio telescope is looking at. I'm not a scientist; I'm not an astronomy student. I just did a little bit of research that the original answerer obviously didn't do.

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]
How does refracting telescope work?
it doesnt
