∙ 12y agoThis is a reflecting telescope, which can use one or more large mirrors to concentrate the visible light from distant astronomical objects.

∙ 11y agoA "refractor" also known as a "refracting telescope".
This is opposed to a telescope that uses mirrors to do the job, called a "reflecting telescope" or "reflector"

What type of telescope is the hubble telescope?
The Hubble telescope was a basic reflector telescope with a 94.5 ft mirror. The Hubble collects light though its open end, the primary mirror reflects the light to a secondary mirror that then reflects the light through a hole in the primary mirror to a focal point of the instruments or eyes of the Hubble.
Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens or a mirror?
reflecting telescope gathers light from mirror
What does the light gathering ability of a telescope depend on?
A refracting telescope is a type of optical telescope. It was used in astronomical telescopes and spy glasses. Objective lens are used to produce the image.
How many mirrors does a reflecting telescope have?
A reflecting telescope only needs one mirror, the primary mirror which will focus incoming light to a single point. A digital telescope might place the digital recording media directly in front of the reflecting telescope without any additional mirrors (although perhaps some lenses). For practical purposes though, most optical telescope will have a secondary mirror that will either focus light straight back through a hole in the primary telescope mirror, or to the side of the telescope. Some telescopes, especially the large ones in observatories will have several mirrors directing the light path to the observer or recording equipment.
Is hershelian a type of telescope?
Yes, a Hershelian telescope is a type of reflecting telescope in which the primary mirror is tilted so the observer's head does not block the incoming light.
Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image?
A reflecting telescope "Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image".
What has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image?
A Reflecting Telescope.
Telescope collects and focuses light using a mirror?
Yes, or lenses. Called reflector and refractors respectfully.

How does a telescope see in the dark?
A telescope as actually a light bucket. It collects light from the objects in space using either a lens, or more usually a mirror.A main mirror reflects the light to a smaller one,which begins the light to a focus where an image of the object is formed
What kind of telescope collects and focuses light using a mirrior?
That's a "reflecting" telescope.
A telescope collects electromagnetic radiation from outer space and does what to it?
Yes a telescope collects electromagnetic radiation (light) an then brings this light to a focus so that the source of the light is magnified. The larger the diameter of the telescope, the more light it collects making the image at the focus brighter so as well as magnifying the image a telescope also allows one to see fainter objects.
Which type of telescope uses a mirror to gather light?
A reflecting telescope.
When light strikes the large concave mirror of a reflecting telescope where is the light focus?
In front of the mirror
