Does the reflecting telescope deal with sound or light?

The reflecting telescope deals with light. It uses mirrors to gather and focus incoming light from distant celestial objects for observation. Sound waves are not used in reflecting telescopes.


Which type of telescope did Galileo turn skyward in 1610?

Galileo turned a refracting telescope, which uses lenses to gather and focus light, skyward in 1610. This allowed him to make groundbreaking astronomical observations such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus.


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 are 3 examples of light being reflected?

- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow


What uses mirrors to focus light from the object being viewed a refracting telescope or a reflecting telescope?

A reflecting telescope uses a curved mirror to concentrate the light from distant stars, and is a very useful technique. There are very clever techniques and technicians, which can produce a mirror perfect over all its area, to within part of the wavelength of light!! The alternative method of using a glass lens, suffers from various difficulties, such as distortion and loss of light. You do not ordinarily consider focus in an astronomical telescope, for all the stellar objects are essentially at infinity.

Which type of telescope uses a mirror to gather light?

A reflecting telescope.


This type of telescope uses concave mirrors to gather light and view the image?

reflecting


What is the difference between a reflecting telescope and a refracting 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.


What of type telescope uses concave mirrors to focus light and form an image at the focal point?

A reflecting telescope.


What telescope uses mirrors to bounce light toward the eyepiece?

Reflecting telescopes do this. There are many different kinds of reflectors.


Which type of mirror uses its outside as the reflecting surface?

convex mirror


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 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.


How does reflecting telescope help us today?

a reflecting telescope can help us because it is an optical telescope which uses a single or combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image.


What uses a lens and two mirrors?

Reflecting TelescopeA reflecting telescope uses a lens and two mirrors. The lens is positioned at the eyepiece, and thus the focus, which the two mirrors generated by specifically redirected light. There are two types of reflecting telescopes with one lens and two mirrors, the Newtonian Focus and the Cassegrain Focus.


Which type of telescope uses concave mirrors to increase the size of the image being viewed?

Refracting
