What else can I help you with?
Russia is given credit for building the largest of these telescopes in 1974?
reflecting telescopes
What are reflecting and refracting telescopes designed for?
Light is found by reflecting telescopes and refracting telescopes are used to dected sound
How are reflecting and refracting telescopes different?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to collect and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes typically have a closed tube design which protects the mirrors from dust and other contaminants, while refracting telescopes are more prone to chromatic aberration. Reflecting telescopes are generally easier to manufacture at larger sizes compared to refracting telescopes.
How are refraction telescopes and reflecting telescopes similar?
they the same
Compare reflecting and refracting telescopes?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to collect and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes are typically less affected by chromatic aberration, while refracting telescopes can be more prone to this issue. Reflecting telescopes are generally more cost-effective for larger apertures.
Reflecting telescopes differ from refracting telescopes in having?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to gather and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes tend to be more compact and easier to support larger apertures, making them popular for professional astronomical research. Additionally, reflecting telescopes are less affected by chromatic aberration compared to refracting telescopes.
Is refracting telescopes bigger then reflecting telescopes?
Not necessarily. Refracting telescopes can be large, but reflecting telescopes can also be quite large and often have larger apertures due to their design. The size of a telescope depends on its purpose and design specifications rather than whether it is refracting or reflecting.
What are the largest telescopes used for observations in the visible region of the spectrum?
The largest telescopes that use visible light are reflector telescopes.
What is better Reflecting or refracting telescopes?
The most serious astronomical research, such as that done by the Hubble Space Telescope, is done with reflecting telescopes.
Are celestron telescopes reflecting telescopes?
They have many other different types of telescopes than just reflecting!!!! I have a refracting telescope myself. They also have other things like binoculars and microscopes
What are the largest telescopes used for observations in the visible region of the spectrum called?
The largest telescopes that use visible light are reflector telescopes.
What telescopes is the largest reflecting refracting x-ray or the very large array?
It's difficult to understand the question, but WikiAnswers doesn't do well with multiple choice questions. In general, refracting telescopes are smaller than reflecting telescopes; a refractor has the light going straight through the tube, and structural considerations force limits on its size. In a reflecting telescope, the light path is folded back on itself, and reflecting mirrors reflect more light than thick lenses can pass through. But the largest current reflecting telescope is perhaps 300 inches in diameter, although larger ones are planned. By contrast, the Very Large Array of radio telescopes is ACRES in total size, and there is no theoretical limit in how large "it" could be - because "it" is actually "they". Dozens, potentially hundreds of radio telescopes can add their size together to develop a more sensitive and more precise instrument.
