The telescope is cylindrical.
Its primary mirror is concave.
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.
Isaac Newton invented the reflecting telescope.
Reflecting Telescopes -uses a single or combination of curved mirrors to bring light to a focus and make an image.
Convex mirrors spread and not focus light. They do the opposite of concentrating and magnifying. They are the mirror image of what a concave telescope is and does. Pun intended.
The reflecting telescope
Convex
A reflecting telescope is different from a refracting telescope because a reflecting telescope uses a concave lens, a plane mirror, and a convex lens. While a refracting telescope uses two lens.
Concave curves in (like a cave) = ) and convex curves out = (
a. concave mirror b. a convex lens c. a plane mirror or d. all the above.
Refracting
Yes, a telescope typically uses convex lenses to gather and focus light. The objective lens, which is usually convex, collects and refracts light to create an image that can be magnified by the eyepiece lens.
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.
Isaac Newton invented the reflecting telescope.
It is 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.
A Reflecting telescope has a lot of zooming technologies and the High Power telescope is highly powered.
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.
