How do mirrors and lenses compare in their interaction with light?
Mirrors reflect light; lenses do not. APEX 0-0
What instruments use lenses or mirriors to collect and focus light from distant objects?
Telescopes use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects. The lenses or mirrors help to magnify the light and form an image that can be viewed by the observer.
Is it true that It is more difficult to produce large mirrors for telescopes that have large objective lenses?
It is generally more challenging to produce large mirrors for telescopes compared to large lenses because mirrors need to be ground and polished to a very high precision to avoid distortions and aberrations in the images produced. Lenses can also suffer from similar issues, but the methods to correct them are different and often less complex. Additionally, mirrors are usually easier to support and maintain their shape compared to large lenses.
Does the hubble space telescope use mirrors or lenses?
The Hubble Space Telescope uses mirrors to gather and focus incoming light. The primary mirror is 2.4 meters in diameter and collects light from celestial objects to produce high-resolution images. Mirrors are well-suited for space telescopes as they are more durable and easier to shape to precise specifications compared to lenses.
Is it more difficult to produce large mirrors for telescopes that have large objective lenses?
false
How are mirrors and lense classified?
by shape
How do mirrors and lenses compare in their interaction with light?
Mirrors reflect light; lenses do not. APEX 0-0
What type of telescope uses lenses or mirrors to gather focus light energy?
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
Does the Hubble Telescope use mirrors or lenses to focus the image?
The Hubble Telescope uses both mirrors and lenses to focus on images.
What type of mirrors use in camera?
They are not mirrors they are called lenses so we can see through them
What is found in telescopes and microscopes?
Lenses and/or mirrors
What type of telescope uses lenses or mirror to gather and focus energy?
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
Can mirrors cameras telescope and eye glasses refract light?
Mirrors don't refract, they reflect. All lenses, on the other hand, refract (bend) the light. All cameras have lenses, to focus the image; same for eyeglasses. Some telescopes have lenses, but others are collections of mirrors. Note that some few optical elements are lenses and mirrors - like prescription sunglasses with mirror coating.
What is a tool that gathers light with mirrors and lenses called?
Cameras and reflecting telescopes gather light using mirrors and lenses.
What are mirrors classified by?
Shapes
Do microscopes use mirrors to magnify objects?
No, microscopes use lenses to magnify objects, not mirrors. Mirrors are sometimes used in microscopes for directing and focusing light, but they are not the main component responsible for magnification.
What is a catadioprtic telescope?
It is a telescope that uses lenses and mirrors.
