What type of telescope uses two lenses?

A refracting telescope uses two lenses - an objective lens to gather light and focus it and an eyepiece lens to magnify the image.


Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens or a mirror?

A reflecting telescope gathers light with a mirror instead of a lens. The mirror reflects light to a focus point where the image is formed. This design eliminates chromatic aberration that can occur with lenses.


How does a telescope lens work to magnify distant objects?

A telescope lens works to magnify distant objects by bending and focusing light rays that enter the lens. This allows the lens to gather more light and bring the image of the distant object into focus, making it appear larger and clearer when viewed through the telescope.


What instruments use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant?

A telescope uses lens and mirrors to collect and focus light from distant object.


Which telescope uses a simple light path?

A refracting telescope uses the most direct light path, relying on lenses (rather than prisms and mirrors) to provide a focused image of the night sky.Its opposite would be the reflecting telescope.


Which part of a telescope focuses the incoming light?

The list of choices you included with your question doesn't include any part of atelescope that can do that. I would have picked the objective, whether a lens ora mirror.


What does the lens do in a telescope?

It refracts (bends) light into a focal point


What does the light gathering ability of a telescope depend on?

A refracting telescope is a type of optical telescope. It was used in astronomical telescopes and spy glasses. Objective lens are used to produce the image.


How does a refracting telescope produce an image?

A refracting telescope works just like a magnifying glass. It uses a convex glass lens (to bend light and bring it into focus. This lens is thicker in the center than it is toward its edges, which bends the light more at the edge of the lens than light coming through the center. This allows all of the light to come together at a focus point. The point of focus is where the image is created. If someone looks into the eyepiece, a concave lens magnifies the image Refracting telescopes have two main problems-images are not always clear because the light is being bent and the size of the lens is limited (which limits the power of the telescope).


What uses two lens and mirror?

Reflecting TelescopeA reflecting telescope uses a lens and two mirrors. The lens is positioned at the eyepiece, and thus the focus, which the two mirrors generated by specifically redirected light. There are two types of reflecting telescopes with one lens and two mirrors, the Newtonian Focus and the Cassegrain Focus.

What is refractors?

A refractor is a telescope whose principal focusing element is a lens and collects lots of light from a distant object and brings that light, or image, to a point or focus.
