A radio telescope is a reflecting telescope, and uses a mirror rather than a lens.
Since radio waves are so much longer than light waves, the 'mirror' of a radio
telescope is the 'dish' reflector that focuses radio waves onto its antenna,
located at the prime focus of the dish.

What type of lens is in the eyepiece of a reflecting telecope?
The eyepiece of a reflecting telescope typically contains a convex lens. This lens helps magnify the focused light that has been reflected off the primary mirror, allowing the observer to see a magnified image of the object being observed.
What type of instrument uses an objective lens and an eyepiece lens?
A microscope uses an objective lens and an eyepiece lens to magnify tiny objects for closer examination. The objective lens gathers light from the specimen and forms an enlarged image, which is further magnified by the eyepiece lens for viewing.
Which type of instrument uses an objective lens and an eyepiece lens.?
A compound microscope uses both an objective lens and an eyepiece lens. The objective lens is located near the specimen and provides initial magnification, while the eyepiece lens further magnifies the image for viewing. This combination allows for detailed observation of small objects and biological specimens.
What telescope uses an eyepiece and an objective lens?
Practically all telescopes which use lenses, normally the refracting type. the Reflector use objective Concave Mirrors, but even these need eyepieces or finder scopes.
What type of telescope concave mirrors to gather light and view the image?
Reflecting telescopes use concave mirrors to gather and focus light to form an image. The primary mirror in a reflecting telescope collects incoming light and reflects it to a secondary mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece or camera for viewing. This design is commonly used in telescopes like Newtonian reflectors and Cassegrain telescopes.
What is another word for eyepiece that starts with the letter o?
Ocular lens is a type of eyepiece that is attached to a variety of optical devices such as telescopes and microscopes.
What does the reflecting telscope do?
They use a mirror instead of a lens to focus light into the eyepiece. Newtonian telescopes are the most common type. Schmidt-Cassegrain is also a popular design but more complex and expensive.
What type of lens is in the eyepiece of a reflecting telecope?
The eyepiece of a reflecting telescope typically contains a convex lens. This lens helps magnify the focused light that has been reflected off the primary mirror, allowing the observer to see a magnified image of the object being observed.
What type of the lens found in the eyepiece?
ocular lens
Why arent refracting telescopes bigger than reflecting telescopes?
If you are comparing the biggest telescopes in each type, that's because a large refracting telescope needs a huge lens, which gets expensive; also, the lens can't be supported, while a mirror can.
What type of lens does a reflecting telescope use?
A reflecting telescope only uses lenses in the eyepiece. Light is picked up and an image produced by using a concave parabolic mirror.
What is a refracting and a reflecting telescope?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that has a large thin lense at the front and a smaller thicker lense at the end where the eyepiece is. Refracting telescopes use lenses unlike reflecting telescopes that use mirrors to reflect the light. This is a good image of a refracting and reflecting telescope: [See related link]

How does a refracting telescope differ from other types of telescopes?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image. This is different from other type of telescopes because it has a objective lens.
