A reflecting telescope only needs one mirror, the primary mirror which will focus incoming light to a single point.
A digital telescope might place the digital recording media directly in front of the reflecting telescope without any additional mirrors (although perhaps some lenses).
For practical purposes though, most optical telescope will have a secondary mirror that will either focus light straight back through a hole in the primary telescope mirror, or to the side of the telescope.
Some telescopes, especially the large ones in observatories will have several mirrors directing the light path to the observer or recording equipment.

Does a reflecting telescope use mirrors?
yes
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
Which type of telescope did Galileo turn skyward in 1610?
Galileo used a reflecting telescope. A reflecting telescope uses two mirrors, one facing the sky, and one reflecting the light from the first mirror
What is a telescope that uses one or more mirrors?
multiple-mirror telescope OPTICAL ;p
What are the Uses of reflecting light?
Mirrors and telescopes use light reflection.
What type of telescope is a reflecting telescope?
one which reflects of mirrors
Does a reflecting telescope use mirrors?
yes
What type of telescope uses lenses or mirrors to gather focus light energy?
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.

What types of telescopes us concave mirrors?
A reflecting telescope.
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.
Which type of telescope uses concave mirrors to increase the size of the image being viewed?
Refracting
How does reflecting telescope help us today?
a reflecting telescope can help us because it is an optical telescope which uses a single or combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image.
What telescope uses mirrors to bounce light toward the eyepiece?
Reflecting telescopes do this. There are many different kinds of reflectors.
