The main lens or mirror produces a virtual image of the obect being looked at, and it occurs at a distance behind the lens (or in front of the mirror) equal to the focal length.
The telescope also has an eyepiece whose function is to allow the oberver to see the virtual image. Many telescopes come with a range of different eyepieces that give different amounts of magnification.
What else can I help you with?
What is a telescope that uses an object lens to bend light toward the plane where the image is found?
The telescope you are referring to is likely a refracting telescope. In a refracting telescope, light enters through an objective lens which bends the light rays to a focal point where the image is formed. This type of telescope is commonly used in astronomy and for terrestrial viewing.
Why might a star in the night sky look blurry even through a telescope?
A star might look blurry through a telescope due to atmospheric turbulence causing the light from the star to be distorted as it passes through Earth's atmosphere. This turbulence can create fluctuations in the air that affect the clarity of the image seen through the telescope.
What telescope using lenses to make an image?
The reflecting telescope
How does a telescope form an image?
by refracting light rays that pass through it
What produces an image of a specimen by passing visible light through it?
A light microscope produces an image of a specimen by passing visible light through it. This light passes through the specimen, is refracted and magnified by the lenses in the microscope, and then projected to create a magnified image that can be viewed through the eyepiece or captured using a camera.
Does a telescope form a real image?
Yes. Both the objective lens in a refracting telescope and the main mirror in a reflecting telescope form real images at the prime focus. A frame of photo film or a CCD placed at that spot will capture the image.
What happens to an image projected by light if it travels through a small aperture?
If light projected through a small aperture, it diffracts and spreads out, leading to a blurry image with decreased resolution. This is known as the diffraction effect, where the image loses sharpness and fine details due to the interference of light waves passing through the opening.
What is an image which can be projected onto a screen is called?
It is called a real image. Only a real image can be projected onto a screen.
When you look through a telescope why is it stated that you are looking at an image of an image?
Its because you are looking at a mirror reflection of the actual target.
How can a real image be distinguished from a virtual image and can each type of image be projected on screen?
If an image can be formed on screen it is classified as real. Virtual images cannot be projected on an image.
Is true of a real image?
a real image can be projected
What is the difference between a virtual image and a real image when viewed through a lens?
A virtual image is formed when light rays appear to converge at a point behind the lens, but the image cannot be projected onto a screen. A real image is formed when light rays actually converge at a point in front of the lens, and the image can be projected onto a screen.
What uses are there for a relfecting telescope?
By using a Reflective telescope the viewer sees the image of a normal telescope, reflected on a mirror, which is viewed through a microscope, by doing this the telescope doubles it's viewing ability
The image on this is upside down at first?

Can each type of image be projected on screen explain?
A virtual image cannot be projected onto a screen, because the light rays never actually to through the point where they seem to come from. A real image can be projected onto a screen, because the light rays do actually go through the point where they focus.
