What part of a reflecting telescope would you measure to find the apeture?

To find the aperture of a reflecting telescope, you would measure the diameter of the primary mirror. The aperture of a telescope is the diameter of its primary light-gathering element, which in the case of a reflecting telescope, is the primary mirror.

Does a telescope use a convex lens?

Yes, a telescope typically uses convex lenses to gather and focus light. The objective lens, which is usually convex, collects and refracts light to create an image that can be magnified by the eyepiece 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 is the difference between a High Power telescope and a Reflecting telescope?

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.


What is a telescope that uses an object lens to bend light toward the plane where the image is found?

The telescope you are referring to is likely a refracting telescope. In a refracting telescope, light enters through an objective lens which bends the light rays to a focal point where the image is formed. This type of telescope is commonly used in astronomy and for terrestrial viewing.
