Reflection: light bounces off of a surface, like a mirror.
Refraction: light goes through a substance and bends. For example, white light through a prism comes out in a rainbow because the light is refracted or bent and each color has a different index of refraction.

What are reflecting and refracting telescopes designed for?
Light is found by reflecting telescopes and refracting telescopes are used to dected sound
Compare reflecting and refracting telescopes?
i dont know but ma whatever is wrong but i said what is the difference between refracting and reflecting
Is refracting telescopes bigger then reflecting telescopes?
No
How are reflecting and refracting telescopes different?
reflecting telescopes have concave lenses and refraccting telescopes have convex lenses.
Are reflecting or refracting telescopes more top heavy?
Refracting, large lenses at the top which make them top heavy and harder to stabilize.

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.

No
What is a refracting and a reflecting telescope?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that has a large thin lense at the front and a smaller thicker lense at the end where the eyepiece is. Refracting telescopes use lenses unlike reflecting telescopes that use mirrors to reflect the light. This is a good image of a refracting and reflecting telescope: [See related link]
Is the black series telescopes reflecting or refracting?
Retracting.
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.
