How telescopes and microscopes different?
Microscopes have 2 convex lens and telescopes too while microscopes are used to look at cells and microscopic organisms.
Reflecting telescopes differ from refracting telescopes in having?
A mirror instead of and objective lens (:
Why Do Telescopes need Circle Shaped lens?
Actually, they don't. They could've been Spuares, but Galileo had a different idea. Plus, they are a better shape for eyes.
What is the name for the pieces of shaped glass used to bend light in telescopes?
Pieces of concave glass, called lens.
What type of lens used in telescope?
Most telescopes use refractor lenses. Sometime a telescope will use reflector lenses.
What is the second lens in a traditional refractor called?
Refracting telescopes use a main lens made from glass and called the objective lens.
Why arent refracting telescopes bigger than reflecting telescopes?
If you are comparing the biggest telescopes in each type, that's because a large refracting telescope needs a huge lens, which gets expensive; also, the lens can't be supported, while a mirror can.
What are the major types of optical telescopes?
Ground-based telescopes, and space telescopes. Or: refracting telescopes (main collector is a lens), and reflecting telescopes (main collector is a mirror). Or: Home telescopes (small ones), and professional ones (larger and more expensive).
How is shape formed to camera lens?
It used to be done by casting the lens in a rough shape, then hand polishing. Lenses today are cut and polished with lasers.
How does a refracting telescope differ from other types of telescopes?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image. This is different from other type of telescopes because it has a objective lens.
What is the second lens ina traditional refractor called?
Refracting telescopes use a main lens made from glass and called the objective lens.
How are microscopes and telescopes similar?
The answer is telescopes are used to look at the stars and the microscope is used to look at small things such as organs, bug insides, and other small objects.
