What branch of Science has to do with mirrors and light?
The branch of science that deals with mirrors and light is optics. Optics studies the behavior of light, its interaction with different surfaces like mirrors, and how it forms images. It also includes the study of lenses, refraction, reflection, and the properties of light.
What do you call an instrument with two lense which helps bring distant objects closer?
An instrument with two lenses that helps bring distant objects closer is called a telescope. Telescopes use a combination of lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light, allowing for the observation of far-away celestial bodies. They come in various types, including refracting telescopes, which use lenses, and reflecting telescopes, which use mirrors.
Why are prisms and lenses used in some periscopes insted of mirrors?
Prisms and lenses are used in some periscopes instead of mirrors to achieve specific optical effects and improve image quality. Prisms can bend light without the need for reflection, allowing for a more compact design and reducing image distortion. Additionally, lenses can focus and correct light paths, enhancing clarity and brightness. Using prisms and lenses can also simplify construction and alignment compared to mirrors, making the periscope more efficient.
An optical instrument that forms enlarged images of distant objects is called a?
telescope. It uses lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects, allowing them to be seen in greater detail and clarity.
What is the function of the object lens in the microscope?
It is an optical instrument that gathers light from the object being observed and focus the light rays to produce a real image. They are also called objectives. In microscopes, lenses are found at the bottom near the sample. They are mainly used at telescopes, microscopes and cameras.
How do mirrors and lenses compare in their interaction with light?
Mirrors reflect light; lenses do not. APEX 0-0
How does light behave when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors?
Light can be refracted, reflected, or dispersed when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors. Convex lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light. Concave and convex mirrors reflect light in different ways: convex mirrors diverge light, creating a virtual image, while concave mirrors can converge light, creating a real image.
Compare how mirrors and lenses affect light rays?
Mirrors, such as plane mirrors, reflect light rays back in the same direction. Lenses, on the other hand, refract light rays by bending them as they pass through, converging or diverging them depending on the shape of the lens. Both mirrors and lenses can alter the path of light rays to create images.
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 instruments use lenses or mirriors to collect and focus light from distant objects?
Telescopes use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects. The lenses or mirrors help to magnify the light and form an image that can be viewed by the observer.
Can mirrors cameras telescope and eye glasses refract light?
Mirrors don't refract, they reflect. All lenses, on the other hand, refract (bend) the light. All cameras have lenses, to focus the image; same for eyeglasses. Some telescopes have lenses, but others are collections of mirrors. Note that some few optical elements are lenses and mirrors - like prescription sunglasses with mirror coating.
How do mirrors and lenses affect light?
by having a same common demominator
What type of telescope does not use mirrors or lenses to gather light?
radiotelescope
Why is the objective lenss called the objective lenss on the microscope?
The objective lenses are the optical element that gathers light from the 'object' being observed and they focus the light rays to produce a real image.
How does the refracting telescope use light?
It bends the light with lenses and mirrors, so your answer would be yes.
Do microscopes use mirrors to magnify objects?
No, microscopes use lenses to magnify objects, not mirrors. Mirrors are sometimes used in microscopes for directing and focusing light, but they are not the main component responsible for magnification.
What are mirrors and lenses classified?
Mirrors and lenses are classified as optical devices that manipulate light. Mirrors reflect light, typically made of a glass surface coated with a reflective material, while lenses are transparent materials, usually glass or plastic, that refract light to focus or disperse it. They are further categorized based on their shapes: concave and convex for mirrors, and converging and diverging for lenses. Both play crucial roles in various applications, including imaging systems and optical instruments.
