What are reflecting and refracting telescopes designed for?
Light is found by reflecting telescopes and refracting telescopes are used to dected sound
What did you observe with the indices of refraction of the colors of light in the acrylic prism?
why did you observe with indices of refraction of the colors of light in the acrylic prism
What is a piece of glass that separates the visible wavelengths of light?
A prism is a piece of glass that separates the visible wavelengths of light by refracting, or bending, different colors of light at different angles as they pass through the prism. This causes the colors to spread out, creating a rainbow effect.
What date did the refracting telescope get invented?
The refracting telescope was invented around 1608 by Dutch eyeglass maker Hans Lippershey.
Use refracting telescope in a sentence?
"I logged onto WikiAnswers, went directly to the Astronomy category, and immediately chanced upon a new question that challenged: 'Use refracting telescope in a sentence' . "
How do light refracting prisms work to separate white light into its component colors?
Light refracting prisms work by bending different colors of light at different angles as they pass through the prism. This causes the white light to separate into its component colors, creating a rainbow effect.
What is the best observation of refracting light?
Some of the best observations of refracting light comes from Prisms. A Prisms splits visible light into all of the colors of the spectrum allowing an individual to see the different colors that make up a beam of light.
What would you use to split white light into colors?
If white light is shined through a prism, it will be dispersed into colors.
Can white light be separated only by a prism?
No, white light can also be separated into its component colors using a diffraction grating or refracting telescope.
What object separates white light into many different colors?
A prism separates white light into its different colors by refracting or bending the light at different angles depending on its wavelength. This dispersion of light reveals the visible spectrum of colors ranging from red to violet.
What device splits light?
A prism is a device that can split light by refracting it at different angles depending on the wavelength of the light. This separation of colors is known as dispersion.
What optical defects associated with refracting telescopes?
A defect that happens with lenses (refracting telescopes), but not with mirrors, is the chromatic aberration: lenses have a different index of refraction for different wavelengths of light, i.e. colors. Thus, if the telescope is optimized for a certain color, light of another color will be slightly distorted.
What does a refracting do?
*
Do refracting telescopes have more limitations than refracting telescopes?
nope they are the same
What is a triangle shaped piece of glass that bends light?
A prism is a triangle-shaped piece of glass that is able to bend light by refracting and dispersing the light into its component colors.
What splits starlight into a spectrum of different colors?
The electro magnetic spectrum - A prism can split light into a spectrum of colors, and starlight is light. Detail your question and you will have a detailed answer, if this answer does not do the job
Can aberration occur in a mirror?
Chromatic aberration does not occur in a mirror because chromatic aberration is caused by the different colors of a light being bent different amounts. Mirrors do not care about the different colors as they only relfect the light instead of refracting it.
