the images are clear and can be focused unlike a refracting telescope witch sags under its own weight causing images to be distorted

Any telescope forms a real image. Otherwise, it's pretty useless as a telescope.

Comments: Refracting telescopes are good these days. They should not sag. Also, Galileo's telescope formed a virtual image, and that wasn't useless.

An important point about the image in a reflecting telescope is that it is inverted, as well as being a real image.

Which type of image is formed by a reflecting telescope?

A reflecting telescope forms a real image. This image is produced by the focused light from the primary mirror, which gathers and reflects light to a focal point. The image can be observed directly through an eyepiece or captured by a camera. Depending on the configuration, the image may also appear inverted.


What of type telescope uses concave mirrors to focus light and form an image at the focal point?

A reflecting telescope.


What is a telescope that uses an object lens to bend light toward the plane where the image is found?

The telescope you are referring to is likely a refracting telescope. In a refracting telescope, light enters through an objective lens which bends the light rays to a focal point where the image is formed. This type of telescope is commonly used in astronomy and for terrestrial viewing.


What type of image is formed by a refracting telescope -?

an enlarged, upside-down virual image.


Does a reflecting telescope produce an upright image?

The most common type of reflecting telescope produces an inverted image. However, it's possible for a reflecting telescope to produce an upright image, depending on exactly how the optics are arranged.


This type of telescope uses concave mirrors to gather light and view the image?

reflecting


What type of lens does a reflecting telescope use?

A reflecting telescope only uses lenses in the eyepiece. Light is picked up and an image produced by using a concave parabolic mirror.

What is a refracting and a reflecting telescope?

A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that has a large thin lense at the front and a smaller thicker lense at the end where the eyepiece is. Refracting telescopes use lenses unlike reflecting telescopes that use mirrors to reflect the light. This is a good image of a refracting and reflecting telescope: [See related link]
