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.

simplest possible telescope


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 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


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.


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

Can a telescope refract light?

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


How does a refracting telescope differ from other types of telescopes?

A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image. This is different from other type of telescopes because it has a objective lens.


Can Real images be upright and or inverted?

Real images can be upright or inverted. An upright real image occurs when the light rays converge to form an image that is right-side up. An inverted real image occurs when the light rays converge to form an image that is upside down.
