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.
What are the three main parts of the space shuttle?
The three main parts of a space shuttle is the orbiter, the cone, and the wings.
What are the three main parts of the sun?
The core, the radiative zone, and the convective zone.
Name and briefly describe the main regions of the sun?
The three main parts of the sun are the core, the convective zone, and the radiative zone.
What are the main parts of a space shuttle?
the shuttle system has three parts: the orbiter(or space shuttle), external tank, and two solid rocket boosetsr
What is the main difference between a reflecting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
Those are, in fact, identical down to the finest detail.
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
What is catadioptric telescope?
Basically, the catadioptric telescope is just one of the 3 main types of the optical telescopes.The other 2 main types of optical telescopes are the refracting telescopes and the reflecting telescopes.
What are some telescopes names?
The two types are refractor and reflector. In a refracting telescope, the light comes in THROUGH a magnifying LENS where it is REFRACTED (bent) to focus the light into an objective lens. In a reflecting telescope, the light BOUNCES OFF a curved magnifying MIRROR , and then reflected again on a secondary mirror to direct the light into an objective lens. Among the advantages of a reflecting telescope are that in a refracting lens, the thickness of the lens can absorb some of the light, while a mirror reflects all of the light. Additionally, a reflecting telescope can "fold" the telescope into a much more compact instrument, which is essential with especially large devices. A large refracting telescope would be enormously heavy and cumbersome.

Are x-ray telescope mirrors similar to optical telescope mirrors?
The biggest telescopes are reflecting - instead of a main lens, they have a main mirror. Above a certain size, it is no longer feasible, or at least practical, to use lenses.The biggest telescopes are reflecting - instead of a main lens, they have a main mirror.

Which is bigger a reflecting or refracting telescope?
There is no single answer to this question. The Cassegrain has a paraboloidal shaped main mirror. The Ritchey-Chrétian has a hyperboloidal main mirror. I have a Schmidt-Cassegrain which has a spherical main mirror. Dall-Kirkham telescopes have an ellipsoidal main mirror. The secondary mirror can have different shapes as well but I won;t get into hose. That's a separate issue.
What type telescopes use mirrors to bring light to focus.?
Reflectors - the main two types being Newtonian and Cassegrainian.
What is the meaning of refracting telescope?
That means that it uses lenses that use refraction to change the direction of light. More specifically, the main light-gathering piece is a lens - as opposed to a reflecting telescope, which uses mirrors for this same purpose.
