the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
What else can I help you with?
Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens?
No, with mirrors; but there are lenses in the ocular that do gather the light from the mirror and make an image you can see with your eyes.
Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens or a mirror?
A reflecting telescope gathers light with a mirror instead of a lens. The mirror reflects light to a focus point where the image is formed. This design eliminates chromatic aberration that can occur with lenses.
Which type of telescope uses a mirror to gather light?
A reflecting telescope.
What are the lenses called in a reflector telescope?
The lenses used in reflector telescope is the concave lens.
Who built the first reflecting telescope in 1668?
Isaac Newton is credited with building the first practical reflecting telescope in 1668. This telescope used a curved mirror to gather and focus light, unlike traditional refracting telescopes which used lenses.
What kind of telescope uses a single large parabolic mirror to gather and focus starlight?
A single-mirror reflector.
Does the hubble space telescope use mirrors or lenses?
The Hubble Space Telescope uses mirrors to gather and focus incoming light. The primary mirror is 2.4 meters in diameter and collects light from celestial objects to produce high-resolution images. Mirrors are well-suited for space telescopes as they are more durable and easier to shape to precise specifications compared to lenses.
Which type of telescope did Galileo turn skyward in 1610?
Galileo turned a refracting telescope, which uses lenses to gather and focus light, skyward in 1610. This allowed him to make groundbreaking astronomical observations such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus.
How has the telescope changed?
mirror reflection: the glass lenses where producing a blurry image so they have been replaced by mirrors
What is meant by the size of a telescope?
The size of a telescope almost invariably refers to the size of it's objective lens, or mirror. It translates to how much light the telescope can gather, not "how big it can magnify", which is very secondary.
The light-gathering power of a telescope varies with the of the diameter of the lens or mirror?
Yes, that is correct. A greater main mirror, or main lens, will gather more light.Yes, that is correct. A greater main mirror, or main lens, will gather more light.Yes, that is correct.

What type of telescope concave mirrors to gather light and view the image?
Reflecting telescopes use concave mirrors to gather and focus light to form an image. The primary mirror in a reflecting telescope collects incoming light and reflects it to a secondary mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece or camera for viewing. This design is commonly used in telescopes like Newtonian reflectors and Cassegrain telescopes.
