What is a tool that gathers light with mirrors and lenses called?
Cameras and reflecting telescopes gather light using mirrors and lenses.
What are the daily uses of concave mirrors?
Magnifying mirrors, make-up mirrors, telescopes
What type of optical telescopes use mirrors to focus light?
concave mirrors, and curved mirrors
What has the author George McHardie written?
George McHardie has written: 'Preparation of mirrors for astronomical telescopes' -- subject(s): Reflecting telescopes, Mirrors
What is found in telescopes and microscopes?
Lenses and/or mirrors
What is the dameter of each of the twin Keck telescopes?
The telescopes' primary mirrors are 10 meters in diameter.
How big are the mirrors on the keck telescopes?
10 m
What advantage do reflecting telescopes hAve over refracting telescopes?
One advantage of reflecting telescopes is that the mirrors can be very big. Large mirrors allow reflecting telescopes to gather more light than refracting telescopes do. Another advantage is that curved mirrors are polished on their curved side, which prevents light from entering the glass. Thus any flaws in the glass do not affect the light. A third advantage is that mirrors can focus all colors of light to the same focal point. Therefore, reflecting telescopes allow all colors of light from an object to be seen in focus at the same time.
What are 2 types of telescopes?
Refractors (with lenses)Reflectors (with mirrors)
What types of telescopes us concave mirrors?
A reflecting telescope.
Application for concave mirror and convex mirror?
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.
How are reflecting and refracting telescopes different?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to collect and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes typically have a closed tube design which protects the mirrors from dust and other contaminants, while refracting telescopes are more prone to chromatic aberration. Reflecting telescopes are generally easier to manufacture at larger sizes compared to refracting telescopes.
