What else can I help you with?
Why are reflecting telescope and refracting telescope considered as optical telescope?
"Optical", in this case, simply means that they work with light.
What kind of light does an optical telescope collect?
An optical telescope collects and focuses visible light from celestial objects like stars, planets, and galaxies. This light is then directed to a detector or eyepiece for observation and analysis.
What telescope collects light with a mirror?
A reflector telescope collects light with a mirror. The mirror is located at the back of the telescope and reflects the incoming light to a focal point where it is then collected by an eyepiece for viewing.
What are the lenses called in a reflector telescope?
The lenses used in reflector telescope is the concave lens.
The light from distant stars and other objects can be distorted in many ways which type of optical telescope best avoids the problem caused by distortion?
Space Telescope such as the Hubble Space Telescope
Why doesnt the surface of a radio telescope have to be as flawless as the surface of a mirror in an optical telescope?
The surface of a radio telescope doesn't have to be as flawless as the surface of an optical telescope because the radio telescope is collecting radio waves, something that will not be affected by faults in the glass. Optical telescopes, on the other hand, are collecting light, where faults in the surface can interfere with the image.
Why are reflecting telescope and refracting telescope considered as optical telescope?
"Optical", in this case, simply means that they work with light.
Who invented the optical light telescope?
me
How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
What kind of light does an optical telescope collect?
An optical telescope collects and focuses visible light from celestial objects like stars, planets, and galaxies. This light is then directed to a detector or eyepiece for observation and analysis.
How is an optical telescope different from the others?
An optical telescope focuses and concentrates visible light; radio telescopes focus and concentrate electromagnetic radiation (which means, "light") in the radio part of the spectrum.
The LEAST desirable location for an optical telescope is likely to be?
Near a city or urban area due to light pollution and air pollution, which can severely impact the quality of observations. Additionally, placing a telescope in a region prone to frequent cloud cover or atmospheric disturbances would also be undesirable.
How do radio telescope operate?
As far as I know, there is no "optical radio telescope". There are, separately, optical telescopes (which work with visible light), and radio telescopes (which work with radio waves).
Which type of telescope uses lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light?
Optical!!
Can you Define magnification in an optical telescope?
Allows you to gather more light from a distant object.
How can a telescope ray diagram be used to illustrate the optical principles of a telescope?
A telescope ray diagram can be used to show how light rays enter and are focused by the lenses or mirrors in a telescope. This helps illustrate how the telescope magnifies distant objects and forms an image for the viewer to see. By analyzing the paths of the light rays in the diagram, one can understand how the optical principles of the telescope work to enhance our ability to observe objects in space.
What telescope collects light with a mirror?
A reflector telescope collects light with a mirror. The mirror is located at the back of the telescope and reflects the incoming light to a focal point where it is then collected by an eyepiece for viewing.
