Diffraction occurs even in the best telescopes. The appearance of a star should be a dot with any amount of magnification, but under high magnification the star appears as a small disk with circular rings round it. The diameter of the disk does not indicate the size of the star but the size of the telescope's main lens, and a larger lens gives a smaller disk.
Diffraction places a limit on the telescope's ability to separate the images of close double stars. The cloeset double stars can be viewed only with the largest telescopes.
What else can I help you with?
What is the fundamental limit on a telescope's resolution is determined by the wave phenomenon called?
The fundamental limit on a telescope's resolution is determined by the wave phenomenon called diffraction. Diffraction causes light waves to spread out as they pass through an aperture or around an obstacle, limiting the ability of a telescope to distinguish fine details in an image.
Does a reflecting telescope produce an upright image?
The most common type of reflecting telescope produces an inverted image. However, it's possible for a reflecting telescope to produce an upright image, depending on exactly how the optics are arranged.
What is optical diffraction limit?
The optical diffraction limit refers to the physical limit on the resolution of an optical system, defined by the diffraction of light as it passes through an aperture. It sets a boundary on the smallest resolvable features in an image produced by an optical system. Efforts to improve resolution beyond the diffraction limit have led to advancements in techniques such as super-resolution microscopy.
What telescope using lenses to make an image?
The reflecting telescope
Why does a space telescope produce a clearer image then an earth based telescope?
A space telescope produces clearer images because it is above Earth's atmosphere, which can distort and blur light from space. By being in space, the telescope eliminates the atmospheric turbulence that can affect the quality of images produced by Earth-based telescopes. This allows space telescopes to capture sharper and more detailed images of celestial objects.
Is the image produced by a radio telescope the same as the image produced by a optical telescope?
no you cant see image its appers in waves

The fundamental limit on a telescope's resolution is determined by the wave phenomenon called diffraction. Diffraction causes light waves to spread out as they pass through an aperture or around an obstacle, limiting the ability of a telescope to distinguish fine details in an image.
Does a eyepiece of a telescope have a lens?
A telescope eyepiece usually has 2 lenses in an astronomical telescope, and it is designed to give a magnified view of the virtual image produced at the focal point of the main lens.
Does a reflecting telescope produce an upright image?
The most common type of reflecting telescope produces an inverted image. However, it's possible for a reflecting telescope to produce an upright image, depending on exactly how the optics are arranged.
What type of lens does a reflecting telescope use?
A reflecting telescope only uses lenses in the eyepiece. Light is picked up and an image produced by using a concave parabolic mirror.
What is optical diffraction limit?
The optical diffraction limit refers to the physical limit on the resolution of an optical system, defined by the diffraction of light as it passes through an aperture. It sets a boundary on the smallest resolvable features in an image produced by an optical system. Efforts to improve resolution beyond the diffraction limit have led to advancements in techniques such as super-resolution microscopy.
What is the most detailed image produced by?
The most detailed image produced by humans is the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. This image shows thousands of galaxies in a small patch of sky and provides valuable insights into the early universe and galaxy formation.
What telescope using lenses to make an image?
The reflecting telescope
Why does a space telescope produce a clearer image then an earth based telescope?
A space telescope produces clearer images because it is above Earth's atmosphere, which can distort and blur light from space. By being in space, the telescope eliminates the atmospheric turbulence that can affect the quality of images produced by Earth-based telescopes. This allows space telescopes to capture sharper and more detailed images of celestial objects.
A telescope that uses a system of lenses to produce an image?
Reflecting Telescope
What is the use of Erecting lens in a terrestrial telescope?
An erecting lens is used in an astronomical telescope to right the image for terrestrial viewing. It can be placed between the objective and the ocular or be integrated in the eyepiece. Best regards Torbjoern
When light travels through the lens of a telescope it is?
focused onto a single point to form an image. This process enables an observer to view distant objects with greater clarity and magnification compared to the naked eye. The quality of the image produced is influenced by the precision and quality of the telescope's optics.
