Mirrors are used in a telescope because they bounce images off of them instead of bending images like refracting telescopes. This ensures that the image is focuses. If you were using a refracting telescope (no mirror) the colours would be bent at different times making an unfocused image.
What else can I help you with?
What is used to focus light in a refracting telescope?
Concave Mirrors
What type of telescope uses lenses or mirrors to gather focus light energy?
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
What is a catadioprtic telescope?
It is a telescope that uses lenses and mirrors.
What type of telescope uses lenses or mirror to gather and focus energy?
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
What type of telescope is a reflecting telescope?
one which reflects of mirrors
Does the Hubble Telescope use mirrors or lenses to focus the image?
The Hubble Telescope uses both mirrors and lenses to focus on images.
Who was an English scientist and mathematician who invented the telescope which is used mirrors instead of lenses?
Isaac Newton
This telescope uses mirrors to gather and focus light energy?
Newtonian telescope
What telescope doesn't use mirrors or lenses to gather light?
A radio telescope.
What telescope was the first to use many mirrors in a honeycomb patter to avoid the difficulties associated with large mirrors?
The Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT) was the first telescope to use a honeycomb pattern of smaller mirrors to create the effect of a larger mirror. This design helped to minimize some of the difficulties associated with manufacturing and maintaining large, single-piece mirrors.
Does a reflecting telescope use mirrors?
yes
What is used in a telescope to reflect light?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to collect light.
