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 uses the reflection of light as its method of focus.
A refracting telescope uses the refraction (or bending) of light as its method of focus. Reflecting telescopes are much more useful than refracting telescopes, as chromatic aberration is not an issue, and have a significantly larger range than refractors. Nearly all observatories have reflectors in them, as they are much more practical.
A Reflecting telescope has a lot of zooming technologies and the High Power telescope is highly powered.
Optical measures visible light, Radio measures electromagnetic radiation in that part of the spectrum corresponding to radio waves. Same with X-ray telescopes and x-rays. Optical is the kind you look through.
A telescope must gather large amounts of light from a dim, distant object; therefore, it needs a largeobjective lens to gather as much light as possible and bring it to a bright focus. Because the objective lens is large, it brings the image of the object to a focus at some distance away
The HST is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) is responsible for the scientific operation of the telescope and delivery of data products to astronomers.
Wht is the difference between Lanthanides and Actinides?

Please restate your question, or include your list of "following statements".
i dont know but ma whatever is wrong but i said what is the difference between refracting and reflecting

Those are, in fact, identical down to the finest detail.
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]
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.
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.
