What kind of telescope focuses light through a transparent lens?

An optical telescope (as distinct from, say, a radio telescope). It's possible that the answer was intended to be "a refracting telescope" but reflecting telescopes use lenses as well.

What are some similarities between opaque transparent and translucent?
Opaque and transparent materials differ between the amount of light that passes through it. Opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through. Transparent materials allow all or most light through.
Can you see through quartz?
Quartz can be transparent (clear) or translucent (you can see light through it, but shapes are very fuzzy).
Is a light telescope the same as a refracting telescope?
Not exactly. A light telescope is a telescope that catches and shows visible light. The main light-gathering piece may either be a lens, in which case you would have a refracting telescope. Or - much more common with the larger telescopes - the main light-gathering piece is a parabolic mirror. In this case, it is a reflecting telescope. The largest refracting telescope is about 1.2 meters in diameter; all larger telescopes - currently up to about 8 meters - are parabolic mirrors.
What is the purpose of the newtonian reflecting telescope?
Gathering and focusing light from distant objects.
What is the name for the ability of a telescope to collect radiation from a star?
Please refer to the link below. This will take you to a web site that discusses this. Multiwavelength astronomy is dedicated to observing the various spectrums of radiation emitted. That is called its light gathering ability. The 'aperture size' determines the amount of light (radiation) a telescope gathers This site might help you obtain a more in depth answer imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov IT IS CALLED "LIGHT GRASP" in an optical telescope and "RF GAIN" in a radio-telescope.
What is the biconvex transparent structure that focuses light on the retina?
The biconvex transparent structure that focuses light on the retina is called the lens.
What kind of telescope collects and focuses light using a mirrior?
That's a "reflecting" telescope.
Transparent convex body that focuses light rays entering the pupil?
lens
What transparent layer in the eye helps to bend light?
The lens bends light that has entered the eye through the cornea and focuses it onto the retina at the back of the eye.
What is a convex lens that focuses light to form an image at the focal point?
A magnifying lens. In a Refracting Telescope, a convex lens focuses light to form an image at the focal point.
What is traslucent opaque and transparent?
Opaque - light does not pass through. Transparent - all light passes through. Translucent - some light passes through.
What word is used for materials that light can pass through?
Transparent materials allow light to freely pass through them. Translucent materials also allow light to pass through them, but change the colour of the light.
What IS optical spacing?
An optical telescope is a telescope that gathers and focuses light, mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrumcreate a magnified image for direct view, making a photograph, or collecting data through electronic image sensors.
Clear transparent opaque?
Clear and transparent are the synonymous. A transparent material allows light to pass through. Opaque, on the other hand, do not allow light to pass through
How is an optical telescope different from the others?
An optical telescope focuses and concentrates visible light; radio telescopes focus and concentrate electromagnetic radiation (which means, "light") in the radio part of the spectrum.
Which objects light can pass through?
an objects light can pass through is transparent
Telescope collects and focuses light using a mirror?
Yes, or lenses. Called reflector and refractors respectfully.
