What are some of the advantages of reflecting telescopes over refracting telescopes?
Size... a reflecting telescope with the same power as a refracting telescope is much shorter. This is because, in the reflecting telescope, the incoming light is bounced off mirrors (often more than once) which means the physical length is much shorter than an equivalent refracting model.
Did Sir Isaac Newton invent the first reflective telescope?
Yes Sir Isaac Newton had invented the first reflective telescope, as an alternative to the refracting telescope.
What telescope did newton invent?
He invented the reflecting telescope. Galileo was the first to use the telescope for studies of the heavens.
When was the first telescope made?
The earliest evidence of working telescopes were the refracting telescopes that appeared in the Netherlands in 1608. Their development is credited to three individuals: Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen, who were spectacle makers in Middelburg, and Jacob Metius of Alkmaar.The first telescope was made by Galileo Galilee and he made many others after that
Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're a more powerful than a refraction telescope b smaller than a refracting telescope c easier to build than a refraction telescope d more durable?
They can pack a lot of light gathering power into a more compact body. And Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope does much better.
Is the difference between a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
A reflecting telescope uses mirrors while refracting telescopes uses lens. The refracting telescope also had chromatic aberration and bad resolution while the reflecting telescope had none of these.
How is a radio telescope different from a refracting telescope?
A radio telescope detects light in the form of radio waves and a refracting telescope detects light in the visible wavelengths
What kind of telescope did Galileo invent?
Refracting telescope
What is a refracting and a reflecting telescope?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that has a large thin lense at the front and a smaller thicker lense at the end where the eyepiece is. Refracting telescopes use lenses unlike reflecting telescopes that use mirrors to reflect the light. This is a good image of a refracting and reflecting telescope: [See related link]
How does refracting telescope work?
it doesnt
A refracting telescope produce an image using an?
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.
Did Galileo invent the reflecting or the refracting telescope?
no
Which culture invented the refracting telescope?
DUTCH
A refracting telescope in a type of what telescope?
One that you look through, rather than into.
What do you call a telescope that uses a lens to focus light?
It is called a refracting telescope.
What other things were developed using the refracting telescope design?
the reflecting telescope was!!
What date did the refracting telescope get invented?
The refracting telescope was invented around 1608 by Dutch eyeglass maker Hans Lippershey.
