Reflecting telescopes are usually designed to capture and concentrate light through the use of a large concave mirror which focuses the captured light on a smaller, flat mirror which in turn reflects it to the eye or a camera.
Refracting telescopes use convex lenses to capture light and focus it where the eye or a camera is.
Radio telescopes collect long wavelength radiation (radio waves and microwaves) and are all forms of reflecting telescope.
The first telescopes were refracting telescopes, because the technology existed to form the needed sizes of convex lenses. Reflecting telescopes were developed later, when advancing technology provided the means of making very regular concave mirrors. All the largest modern telescopes are variations on the reflecting telescope design because it is easier to make and manage very large concave mirrors than it is to make lenses of equivalent light collecting power.

i dont know but ma whatever is wrong but i said what is the difference between refracting and reflecting
Hi , A reflective scope uses mirrors to focus the image and the light while a refractive scope uses curved glass lenses to focus the light and the image. Generally the reflector telescope is better for deep sky viewing and the refractor is better for lunar and planetary viewing. You can also find a compound telescope which uses both glass and mirrors which is better for general viewing.

Reflecting Telescopes -uses a single or combination of curved mirrors to bring light to a focus and make an image.
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]
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.

A Reflecting telescope has a lot of zooming technologies and the High Power telescope is highly powered.
Those are, in fact, identical down to the finest detail.

Reflection is bouncing back of light after falling on a polished surface while refraction is bending of light when it falls on a surface
The focus is between the two lenses, closer to the eyepiece
The main difference between Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes is the fact that the Hubble is placed in outer space where it can observe without the distortion of the Earth's atmosphere.
