Yes. Both the objective lens in a refracting telescope and the main mirror in a reflecting telescope

form real images at the prime focus. A frame of photo film or a CCD placed at that spot will capture

the image.

What is a convex lens that focuses light to form an image at the focal point?

A convex lens that focuses light to form an image at the focal point is known as a converging lens. This type of lens causes parallel light rays to converge and meet at a single point called the focal point, creating a real image.


What type of telescope that uses only lenses to collect light to form a image?

simplest possible telescope


What type of image is formed by reflecting telescope?

the images are clear and can be focused unlike a refracting telescope witch sags under its own weight causing images to be distortedAny telescope forms a real image. Otherwise, it's pretty useless as a telescope.Comments: Refracting telescopes are good these days. They should not sag. Also, Galileo's telescope formed a virtual image, and that wasn't useless.An important point about the image in a reflecting telescope is that it is inverted, as well as being a real image.


What of type telescope uses concave mirrors to focus light and form an image at the focal point?

A reflecting telescope.


Which lens does not form a real image?

concave lens does not form a rel image and convex MIRROR does not form a real image


Does a microscope form a real image?

Actually, the image doesn't form in the microscope. The image forms on your retinas. The microscope focuses light in such a way that it comes together correctly on your retinas.


What part of a reflecting telescope form the image?

a concave mirror and an angled plane mirror


What are the characteristics of image form in telescope?

The characteristics of image form in a telescope include magnification, resolution, and contrast. Magnification refers to how much larger the image appears compared to the object, while resolution is the telescope's ability to distinguish fine details, affected by factors like aperture size and atmospheric conditions. Contrast relates to the difference in brightness between the image and its background, influencing the visibility of faint objects. Together, these characteristics define the quality and clarity of the images produced by a telescope.


Which type of image is formed by a reflecting telescope?

A reflecting telescope forms a real image. This image is produced by the focused light from the primary mirror, which gathers and reflects light to a focal point. The image can be observed directly through an eyepiece or captured by a camera. Depending on the configuration, the image may also appear inverted.


How does reflecting telescope help us today?

a reflecting telescope can help us because it is an optical telescope which uses a single or combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image.


Can a telescope refract light?

The human eye is a refractor, but the telescope could be either refractor or a reflector.


Is the image produced by a radio telescope the same as the image produced by a optical telescope?

no you cant see image its appers in waves
