Which color of light travels fastest through a telescope lens?
Red travels fastest Violet slowest.
What is the first lens in a refractor called?
The first lens that the light energy passes through on its way through the telescope is called the object lens or the objective. It is the most important and the most expensive part of the telescope. Telescopes are graded by the diameter of the object lens.
Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens or a mirror?
reflecting telescope gathers light from mirror
Why does a reflecting telescope have no chromatic aberration?
There's no aberration with the main MIRROR of the telescope, because light doesn't go through the mirror. A reflecting telescope will have SOME chromatic aberration, because every reflecting telescope has at least one refracting lens; the eyepiece. Light goes THROUGH that lens, and light passing through the glass lens will generate some chromatic aberration.
What is the difference between a refracting telescope and a?
A refracting or refractor telescope is a dioptric telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image. The refracting telescope design was originally used in spy glasses and astronomical telescopes but is also used in other devices such as binoculars and long or telephoto camera lenses.There are two basic types of telescopes, refractors and reflectors. The part of the telescope that gathers the light, called the objective, determines the type of telescope. A refractor telescope uses a glass lens as its objective. The glass lens is at the front of the telescope and light is bent (refracted) as it passes through the lens. A reflectortelescope uses a mirror as its objective. The mirror is close to the rear of the telescope and light is bounced off (reflected) as it strikes the mirror
What is light when it travels through the lens of a telescope?
refracted
What is it called when light travels through the lens of a telescope?
Refraction
Which color of light travels fastest through a telescope lens?
Red travels fastest Violet slowest.
What happens when light travels through the lens of a telescope?
The light or image is focused at a different position relative to the real position of the emitting light. This is dependent on the type of lens.
Does light pass through the convex lens in a reflector telescope?
yes
How does light refracts as it travels through a concave lens?
What type of image can a concave lens form

Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens or a mirror?
reflecting telescope gathers light from mirror
How does a magnifier work on a telescope?
The lens is a convex shape which allows it to concentrate and magnify light which passes through it.
Are lens part of a telescope?
-- A refracting telescope must have a lens, otherwise it's not a refracting telescope. -- A reflecting telescope can be constructed without any lens, but if you intend to look through it, then you'll use a little lens for the eyepiece.
What do you call a telescope that uses a lens to focus light?
It is called a refracting telescope.
What kind of telescope focuses light through a transparent lens?
An optical telescope (as distinct from, say, a radio telescope). It's possible that the answer was intended to be "a refracting telescope" but reflecting telescopes use lenses as well.
