The telescope is an instrument that is used to study or observe objects that are a long distance away. It is an important instrument in astronomy since it helps in observation and measurement of the distance between the earth and objects in the galaxy.

Which shows more detail-a telescope with a resolution of 10 or a telescope with a resolution of 6?

A telescope with a resolution of 10 shows more detail than a telescope with a resolution of 6. Resolution is a measure of an instrument's ability to distinguish between closely spaced objects or features in an image. A higher resolution value means that the telescope can produce sharper and more detailed images.


What is a good place to put a telescope?

optical telescopes - high mountain far from city light pollutionradio telescope - anyplace with little radio interference in the bands it operates inx-ray or gamma ray telescope - in orbitneutrino telescope - deep in an abandoned salt mine.etc.


Why are telescope eyepieces an important part of any visual telescope?

Telescope eyepieces are important of any visual telescope. It is the main part of the telescope and is what determines how the object will look like through the telescope.


What type of telescope that uses only lenses to collect light to form a image?

simplest possible telescope


What type of telescope is the South Pole telescope?

At the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Research Station, supported by the United States of America, you'll find the South Pole Telescope (SPT), which is a 10 meter (394 in) diameter telescope. The telescope is an off-axis Gregorian type in an altazimuth mount -- effectively identical to an equatorial mount. The first camera mounted in the telescope is a 960-element bolometer array of superconducting transition edge sensors. It is one of the largest arrays ever built. The current camera also contains superconducting transition edge sensors and is more sensitive than the first camera and can measure the polarization of incoming light.

What part of a reflecting telescope would you measure to find the apeture?

To find the aperture of a reflecting telescope, you would measure the diameter of the primary mirror. The aperture of a telescope is the diameter of its primary light-gathering element, which in the case of a reflecting telescope, is the primary mirror.

What is the most common usage for spectrometers?

A spectrometer is used to measure properties of light. The most common usage is as an instrument attached to a telescope for astronomers to measure the chemical elements in a star.

What are the instruments that use in studying stars?

Some instruments used in studying stars include telescopes, spectrographs to analyze the light from stars, photometers to measure the brightness of stars, and interferometers to combine light from multiple telescopes for higher resolution imaging. Telescopes can be ground-based or space-based, like the Hubble Space Telescope.
