Reflecting telescopes differ from refracting telescopes in having?
A mirror instead of and objective lens (:
Why is it important to keep temperature of telescope mirror or lens canstant?
It's important to keep a constant temperature because materials expand or contract depending upon how hot they are. Should one region of the telescope become hotter than the rest, it will change it's shape more, and distort the mirror, reducing the clarity of any images.
What kind of telescope uses a mirrio?
all telescopes use a mirror.
What is the location of the keck telescopes?
The Keck telescope has a 10m mirror.
How is resolution affected by the size of a telescopes mirror or lens?
The resolution is directly proportional to the diameter of the main mirror or lens. For instance, twice the diameter means twice the resolution.

Can you use a mirror for a telescopes?
No you cannot. a mirror simply reflects light. you would have to have many mirrors no no
What type of telescopes uses a concave mirror?
A reflecting telescope.
What are the major types of optical telescopes?
Ground-based telescopes, and space telescopes. Or: refracting telescopes (main collector is a lens), and reflecting telescopes (main collector is a mirror). Or: Home telescopes (small ones), and professional ones (larger and more expensive).
What kind of telescope uses a mirrio?
all telescopes use a mirror.
What are the 10th ssc important questions?
difference between heat and temperature ..............................mirror formula
What is the location of the keck telescopes?
The Keck telescope has a 10m mirror.
What kind of telescope uses a concave mirror?
Concave means bulging inward - reflecting telescopes use this sort of mirror. The first telescope designed to use one was invented by Isaac Newton and they are therefore called "Newtonian" telescopes.
Application for concave mirror and convex mirror?
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.
Where can one buy a new mirror for a telescope?
There are a variety of places where one can buy a new mirror for a telescope. The best place to get a replacement mirror is at a online shop that sells telescopes.
Why does the mirror gets foggy?
it is because of the differences between the mirror's temperature and the air's temperature.
