Who invented telescope?
HANS LIPPERSHEY INVENTED REFRACTING TELESCOPE.
What date did the refracting telescope get invented?
I love mikael cayewood
What are some things Issac Newton invented and or reinvented?
Newton invented the reflecting telescope which is a a great advance over the refracting telescope. The refracting telescope distorted the image via refraction. Newton invented Calculus, which is the engine of mathematics. Newton invented lens and prisms for light analysis.
Why did Isaac Newton invent the telescope?
Newton did not invent the telescope, he invented the reflecting telescope. The reflecting telescope was a major improvement over the distorting refracting telescope.
What kind of telescope did Galileo invent?
Refracting telescope

Did Sir Isaac Newton invent the first reflective telescope?
Yes Sir Isaac Newton had invented the first reflective telescope, as an alternative to the refracting telescope.
Is the difference between a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
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.
How is a radio telescope different from a refracting telescope?
A radio telescope detects light in the form of radio waves and a refracting telescope detects light in the visible wavelengths
What kind of telescope did Galileo invent?
Refracting telescope
Can refracting telescope allows scientist to see carbon molecules?
Atoms can't be seen because they are smaller than a wavelength of light
Telescope that uses several mirriors to combine and focus light?
A reflecting telescope forms an image by using a combination of curved mirrors to focus light. It was invented as an alternative to the refracting telescope.
Is a telescope with incoming light passing through glass refracting?
refracting
