The main disadvantage is that it does not have the advantages of a prism periscope. 1) Glass prisms do not produce multiple reflections 2) Glass prisms do not have exposed silvered surfaces which can be damaged 3) Depending on your arranges, if not the image will not be inverted.
I guess it is because of preception.... if your standing about a metre away from the mirror... it will appear your reflection is a metre behind the mirror
behind you
The characteristics of the plane mirror include the virtual image is located behind a mirror, it is the same size as the object.
The object should be necessarily be placed between the focal point of the concave mirror and the pole of the mirror to produce a larger image(not larger object) behind the concave mirror.
It does, a little. But the amount of light lost by the secondary mirror blocking the primary mirror is generally a small percentage. But to avoid even that loss, some reflecting telescopes are being built with an angled primary mirror. The secondary mirror is off-axis, meaning that the secondary mirror doesn't block ANY light from the primary.
The Newtonian reflector has a convex primary mirror and a flat secondary mirror with the eyepiece located on the top side of the telescope tube.
It is called a Cassegrain. The small convex subreflector is a hyperboloid with one focus at the focus of the main mirror, and the other focus just behind the main mirror where the eyepiece is.
No - HSTs' primary mirror is a Cassegrain Reflector of Ritchey-Chrétien design, which contains a hyperbolic primary/secondary mirror.
Eyepiece, Primary Mirror, Secondary Mirror, Prime Focus.
pull off plastic inside directly behind the mirror it just pulls off and you will expose the bolts to remove the mirror.
are you doing your science homework?
The primary mirror of the HST has a diameter of 2.4 m; the secondary mirror measures 30 cm in diameter.
That is called a Cassegrain. The main mirror is a paraboloid which focusses the light from a star down to a point, then the secondary small mirror is a hyperboloid with one focus that coincides with the focus of the main mirror, and the other focus is behind the main mirror, where the eyepiece is. This arrangement is common in radio telescopes as a way of reducing radio noise picked up from the 'hot' ground which is at approximately 260 degrees Kelvin or more.
Serrurier is used in telescope tube assembly. Created in 1935 by engineer Mark serrurier.It supports the primary objective mirror and the secondary mirror.
a primary mirror is the main mirror
Aluminium is not normally a source of light. I suppose if you made a large mirror out of it you could turn that into a secondary source.
