What type of telescope uses convex lens to increase the size of the image being viewed?
A refracting telescope uses convex lenses to magnify images. It typically consists of an objective lens that collects light and brings it to a focus, and an eyepiece lens that magnifies the image for the viewer. This design allows for clear images of celestial objects, making refractors popular for both amateur and professional astronomy.

How does a convex telescope work to magnify distant objects?
A convex telescope uses a converging lens to gather and focus light from distant objects. This lens bends the light rays towards a focal point, creating a magnified image that can be viewed through the eyepiece.
What are the parts of a magnifying glass?
A magnifying glass typically consists of a handle or frame for holding, a lens for magnification, and sometimes a casing or frame for protection. The lens is usually convex to enlarge the object being viewed, and the handle provides a comfortable grip for the user.
Does a microscope use a concave lens or a convex lens?
A microscope typically uses multiple lenses, including both concave and convex lenses, to magnify and focus the light coming from the specimen being observed. The objective lens, which is closer to the specimen, is usually convex, while the eyepiece lens, which is closer to the observer's eye, is usually convex.
What is an optical device that produces real images?
A camera is an optical device that produces real images. When light enters the camera's lens, it is focused onto the image sensor or film, creating a real representation of the scene being captured. This real image can be viewed directly or processed and displayed digitally.
Why is it important to know lens in microscopes are convex lens?
Convex lenses in microscopes help to magnify the specimen being observed by bending light rays, allowing for clearer and more detailed images. The shape of the convex lens also helps to focus the light rays onto a single point, resulting in a sharper image. Understanding the properties of convex lenses in microscopes is essential for proper functioning and accurate observation of specimens.
Which type of telescope uses a convex lens to increase the size of the image being viewed?
refracting
Which type of telescope uses concave mirrors to increase the size of the image being viewed?
Refracting
What is object lens?
the lens or system of lenses in a telescope or microscope that is nearest the object being viewed
How factors affect the magnification of a convex lens?
The magnification of a convex lens depends on its focal length and the object distance from the lens. Increasing the focal length or decreasing the object distance will usually increase the magnification. The magnification is also affected by the size of the object being viewed and the optical properties of the lens itself.
How does convex lens affect the area seen?
A convex lens will magnify objects viewed through it, making them appear larger. The lens focuses light rays onto a point, creating an enlarged image. As a result, the area seen through a convex lens will appear larger than the actual object being viewed.
The image produced by a convex lens depends on what?
The image depends on the distance the object is from the lens.
What uses mirrors to focus light from the object being viewed a refracting telescope or a reflecting telescope?
A reflecting telescope uses a curved mirror to concentrate the light from distant stars, and is a very useful technique. There are very clever techniques and technicians, which can produce a mirror perfect over all its area, to within part of the wavelength of light!! The alternative method of using a glass lens, suffers from various difficulties, such as distortion and loss of light. You do not ordinarily consider focus in an astronomical telescope, for all the stellar objects are essentially at infinity.
The image produced by a convex lens depends upon?
The image produced by a convex lens depends upon the object distance from the lens, the focal length of the lens, and the type of object being viewed (real or virtual). The characteristics of the image, such as its size, orientation, and location, are determined by the lens formula and the properties of the convex lens.
How does a convex telescope work to magnify distant objects?
A convex telescope uses a converging lens to gather and focus light from distant objects. This lens bends the light rays towards a focal point, creating a magnified image that can be viewed through the eyepiece.
One function of a refracting telescope?
The nominal function of any telescope is to enlarge the image of a distant object and that is the same for reflecting or refracting or hybrid telescopes. That said, it is a better description of a telescope to say it is a light collector that brings into an image (on the eye or photo sensor of the user) the light that is given off by some distant object. The aperture of a telescope is much much larger than the aperture (iris) of the human eye, so whatever object is being viewed is producing light an a much greater quantity of light is entering the telescope than would be entering the eye. More light allows the image being viewed to be enlarged and still visible to the human eye.
How many lenses do binoculars have?
It depends on the type of reflecting telescope.
What telescope collects light with a mirror?
A reflector telescope collects light with a mirror. The mirror is located at the back of the telescope and reflects the incoming light to a focal point where it is then collected by an eyepiece for viewing.
