What else can I help you with?
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.
Who made use of the reflecting telescope?
Isaac Newton invented the reflecting telescope.
What type of telescope is hubble space telescope?
It is 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.
What is the magnification of a reflecting telescope with an eyepiece of focal length 25 mm and an objective lens of focal length 2000 mm?
That's 80 power.
What is the difference between a High Power telescope and a Reflecting telescope?
A Reflecting telescope has a lot of zooming technologies and the High Power telescope is highly powered.
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.
Does a telescope form a real image?
Yes. Both the objective lens in a refracting telescope and the main mirror in a reflecting telescope form real images at the prime focus. A frame of photo film or a CCD placed at that spot will capture the image.
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.
Did isaac newton invented the telescoped?
Neither Newton nor Galileo invented the telescope. It was developed independently by various dutch optics makers (Lippershey submitted the first patent). Galileo's first telescope was dutch-made, and he made useful improvements to the initial retractor design. Newton did invent the reflecting telescope (the particular design is now called a Newtonian Telescope). Further improvements to the reflector design were made by Cassegrain and others made improvements to the manufacturing process, greatly improving the mirror quality. A refracting telescope uses a lens as the main objective, while a reflecting telescope uses a mirror. The objective is the component that focuses the light. Reflector telescopes are the most common nowadays, as they do not suffer from chromatic aberration (light splitting due to refraction) and can be built in very large diameters. --- Galileo improved the refracting telescope, but Newton invented the reflecting telescope.
What type of telescope is a reflecting telescope?
one which reflects of mirrors
