Refractors and reflectors. One should add the largely Russian-developed Cassegrainean combines features of both systems-called also Maksutov after its Russian inventor who was awarded the Staliln Prize for this feat. They are adapted to (Mirror=Lens) telephoto camera lenses, also.

Is the design of radio telescopes very similar to the design of refracting telescopes?

No, radio telescopes and refracting telescopes have different designs and functions. Radio telescopes are designed to detect radio waves from space, whereas refracting telescopes use lenses to bend light to create images of distant objects. While both types of telescopes have a common goal of observing the universe, their designs are optimized for different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.


What are the instrument used to study stars and other heavenly bodies?

Telescopes are the main instruments. There are many different types, such as radio telescopes, besides the "usual" optical telescopes. Other instruments such as spectrometers are very useful too.


Is the telescope based on wavelength and frequency?

Telescopes can be designed to detect various wavelengths and frequencies of light, not just visible light. Different types of telescopes, such as radio telescopes and X-ray telescopes, are specialized to observe different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum beyond visible light. By focusing on specific wavelengths and frequencies, telescopes can provide valuable information about celestial objects and phenomena.


Why do you use only two types of telescopes here on earth optical or radio telescopes?

Radiation other than light and radio waves hardly penetrates Earth's atmosphere.


Why are different types of telescopes used to observe and study stars?

Fifferent objects in the Univers have different levels of electromagnetic energy. Telescopes that detect different types of electromagnetic waves are able to see the different energy objects objects. For example night vision cameras pick up the infrared radiation of the human body that the normal cameras can't see.

What kinds of problems occur with opticol telescopes?

Optical telescopes are of two types: refractive and reflective. The refractive telescopes have chromatic aberration (huh? different colors are focused in different plains -- huh?). This is less of a problem with reflective telescopes.


Are there different types of telescopes?

Yes.


Can you provide an explanation of different telescope types?

There are two main types of telescopes: refracting telescopes and reflecting telescopes. Refracting telescopes use lenses to gather and focus light, while reflecting telescopes use mirrors. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, but both are used to observe distant objects in space.

Type of telescope?

Different telescopes utilize different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Two types of optical telescope are refracting and reflecting. There are also different kinds of radio telescope investigating different bandwidths from the infra red to the untra violet
