Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens?

No, with mirrors; but there are lenses in the ocular that do gather the light from the mirror and make an image you can see with your eyes.


Galileos telescope designs using lenses were examples of?

Galileo's telescope designs using lenses were examples of early optical technology advancements that allowed for magnification and enhanced observational capabilities. These designs revolutionized astronomy and helped Galileo make significant discoveries, such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, that supported the heliocentric model of the solar system.


Did Galileo design refracting telescopes?

Many historians explain that Galileo was the first person to use a telescope. In 1610 Galileo discovered Saturn's rings. He also observed Jupiter's four moons and viewed the different phases of Venus. This lead to the study of sunspots and various celestial activities. Even though Galileo is credited with being the first to make practical improvements and enhancements to the use of the telescope, he was not the inventor, and therefore not the first person to use a telescope. That person would be Hans Lippershey. Hans Lippershey was born 1570 in Germany, but was raised in Holland. He invented the first refracting telescope in 1608. A lens maker, he designed this telescope from two lenses and applied for a patent, intending that it would be important for the military. He successfully demonstrated the usefulness of his refracting telescope to the military.


How did the galilean telescope works?

The Galilean telescope works by using a convex objective lens to collect light and focus it into a real, inverted image. This image is then magnified by a concave eyepiece lens to make it appear larger. The Galilean telescope produces a non-upright image due to its design.


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.

How do you make a simple telescope?

You can assemble a simple telescope by using two lenses, one weak convex lens (this is thicker at the centre) as the objective and a stronger concave lens ( thinner at the centre) as the eyepiece. then, with simple manipulation you can determine the focal length of your lenses, double this calculation for length of tubing required to mount lenses and assemble a gallilean style telescope. ******* An online visual guide can help you understand what is involved in building a telescope.

What type of ens is used to make objects appear smaller and clearer?

A microscope is used to make objects appear smaller and clearer by using lenses to magnify the object's image.

When telescope was invented?

The first telescope was invented in 1608 by hans lippershey a glasses make in middleburg. after putting two lenses together he discovered that items were closer than before. Thus creating the telescope.


What are lenses that make objects look larger?

You need a convex lens to magnify an image.


Is it possible to make the telescope from A walk to Remember.if yes then how?

It is possible to make your own Dobsonian telescope. It can be quite costly to do so due to the Pyrex lenses. It is an alt-azimuth Newtonian style scope that collects light.


What are the names of the two converging lenses that are used to make a simple telescope?

1. The Objective Lens. 2. The Eyepiece Lens.

Refers to a telescope's ability to make an object larger?

Magnification refers to a telescope's ability to make an object appear larger when viewed through the telescope. It is the degree to which the image of the object is enlarged compared to what is seen with the naked eye.
