Is the design of radio telescopes very similar to the design of refracting telescopes?

No, radio telescopes and refracting telescopes have different designs and functions. Radio telescopes are designed to detect radio waves from space, whereas refracting telescopes use lenses to bend light to create images of distant objects. While both types of telescopes have a common goal of observing the universe, their designs are optimized for different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.


Do refracting and reflecting telescopes use visible light to view the images?

Those terms are most commonly used for optical telescopes. However, the same design can be used for non-visible frequencies; for example, radio telescopes of the "satellite dish" variety are essentially reflecting telescopes.


What is the difference between refracting telescopes and reflecting telescopes?

Hi , A reflective scope uses mirrors to focus the image and the light while a refractive scope uses curved glass lenses to focus the light and the image. Generally the reflector telescope is better for deep sky viewing and the refractor is better for lunar and planetary viewing. You can also find a compound telescope which uses both glass and mirrors which is better for general viewing.

What does reflecting and Refracting telescopes use to magnify images of faraway objects?

Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to gather and focus light, allowing for the magnification of distant objects. In contrast, refracting telescopes utilize lenses to bend and focus light. Both types of telescopes capitalize on the principles of optics to create clear, enlarged images of celestial bodies. By capturing more light and focusing it effectively, they enhance our ability to observe and study the universe.


What are some similarities and differences between refracting and reflecting telescopes?

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]

Do astronomers or nasa use refracting telescopes?

Yes, both of them. And they also use reflecting telescopes.


What do refracting telescope and reflecting telescope have in common?

Both refracting and reflecting telescopes are designed to gather and focus light in order to magnify distant objects, such as stars and planets. They utilize optics to form images, with refracting telescopes using lenses and reflecting telescopes using mirrors. Both types can be used for astronomical observations and share similar components, such as eyepieces and mounts. Additionally, they aim to achieve high resolution and clarity in the images they produce.

Can you provide an explanation of different telescope types?

There are two main types of telescopes: refracting telescopes and reflecting telescopes. Refracting telescopes use lenses to gather and focus light, while reflecting telescopes use mirrors. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, but both are used to observe distant objects in space.

What are two different types of telescopes?

Refractors and reflectors. One should add the largely Russian-developed Cassegrainean combines features of both systems-called also Maksutov after its Russian inventor who was awarded the Staliln Prize for this feat. They are adapted to (Mirror=Lens) telephoto camera lenses, also.


What kind of telescope uses both a reflecting mirror and a refracting lens to produce wide angle photos of the sky?

A reflecting telescope has both magnifying mirrors and lenses to focus the image on the eyepiece. A refracting telescope uses only lenses to magnify and focus. A reflecting telescope can be much smaller, because the light can travel through the barrel of the telescope several times, being magnified with each reflection. This is why most large modern telescopes are reflectors.


What do hubble telescope and galileo's telescope have in common?

they're both reflecting telescopes


What are two types of telescopes and how they work?

there is a refractor and a reflector telescope. refrator is the narrow telescope that works just like a maginifying glass and the reflector telescope takes the image from the lense to the mirror in it's side and thus shows a image. both have their advantages, reflector the narrow telescope is good for viewing objects like planets and moons in the solar system, reflector the wide and short ones are good for stars, nebulas and other bodies out side of the solar system. most scientist and begineers prefer reflector though its a bit more expensive
