What else can I help you with?
How can you determine the light gathering power ratio between a 1 meter telescope and a 10 meter telescope?
The light gathering power is directly proportional to the light gathering area, so all you have to do is figure out the ratio of the areas of the two scopes. Another answer: Do you remember fourth grade arithmetic? Do you remember pi r square?
What part of a reflecting telescope would you measure to find the apeture?
To find the aperture of a reflecting telescope, you would measure the diameter of the primary mirror. The aperture of a telescope is the diameter of its primary light-gathering element, which in the case of a reflecting telescope, is the primary mirror.
What type of telescope uses two lenses?
A refracting telescope uses two lenses - an objective lens to gather light and focus it and an eyepiece lens to magnify the image.
The type of telescope uses convex lenses to increase the size of the image viewed?
According to scientists, the refracting telescope uses a convex lens which increases the size of an image. The most common use of this telescope is for viewing solar system planets such as Jupiter and Mars.
Does a telescope form a real image?
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.
Why does the light gathering power of a telescope vary?
The light gathering power of a telescope is directly proportional to the area of the objective lens of the telescope.
Which magnifies the image in a telescope?
The objective lens or mirror in a telescope magnifies the image by gathering and focusing light from distant objects.
What is the formula for light gathering power for telescopes?
The formula for light gathering power for telescopes is proportional to the square of the diameter of the objective lens (or mirror) of the telescope. This can be calculated using the formula: Light gathering power = (Diameter of objective lens)^2.
If the radius of an objective mirror of a telescope is tripled how will its light gathering power be affected?
It will become 9 times as great.
If the radius of an objective mirror of a telescope is tripled its light-gathering power is likely to become?
9 times greater.
Does the diameter of a telescope control its magnification?
No, you can change the magnification of the telescope by simply changing the eyepiece. The two most important powers of the telescope, light-gathering power and resolving power, depend on the diameter of the telescope, but it does not control the magnification.
What is the ratio of the light gathering power of a m telescope with mm objective than by a telescope with a mm objective?
There's no answer to the question ... in fact, there's no question ...until you put some numbers before the 'm' and 'mm'.
Are light-gathering power and resolving power determined by the primary mirror of a telescope?
Yes, both have to do with the diameter of the objective mirror/lens
What makes a telescope powerful?
The light-gathering power of a telescope is determined by its aperture, which refers to the width of a telescopes primary mirror or objective lens.
How can you determine the light gathering power ratio between a 1 meter telescope and a 10 meter telescope?
The light gathering power is directly proportional to the light gathering area, so all you have to do is figure out the ratio of the areas of the two scopes. Another answer: Do you remember fourth grade arithmetic? Do you remember pi r square?
What does the light gathering ability of a telescope depend on?
A refracting telescope is a type of optical telescope. It was used in astronomical telescopes and spy glasses. Objective lens are used to produce the image.
What part of a reflecting telescope would you measure to find the apeture?
To find the aperture of a reflecting telescope, you would measure the diameter of the primary mirror. The aperture of a telescope is the diameter of its primary light-gathering element, which in the case of a reflecting telescope, is the primary mirror.
