How does the refracting telescope work?
It all depends on if the telscope is a refractor, or a reflector. Reflectors have a convex mirror that bends the reflection on to a flat mirror that angles the magnified reflection to the eyepiece. Refractors use to convex lenses that bend the image and light, magnifying the view to the eypiece.
This telescope uses mirrors to gather and focus light energy?
Newtonian telescope

Which type of telescope uses lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light?
Optical!!
Uses lenses or mirrors to gather and focus starlight?
optical telescope
How are convex lenses and concave lenses the same?
They are not the same. Convex lens bulge outward, and concave lenses go in ward. Convex lenses focus light, and concave lenses spread light out.
Does the Hubble Telescope use mirrors or lenses to focus the image?
The Hubble Telescope uses both mirrors and lenses to focus on images.
Do microscopes use concave or convex lenses?
They use convex lenses because they need to focus the light IN to the eye. Convex focuses in while concave spreads the light out. So, they use convex lenses.

What type of telescope minimizes color focus problems?
A telescope with achromatic lenses.
Where is the focus of a refracting telescope?
The focus is between the two lenses, closer to the eyepiece
What is a description of convex lens?
