optical telescope
Telescopes were first used in 1952 by Oxford scientist Ron L. Hubbard--his predecessor, Mallory Hieney, first saw the planets with his device. Its called a fefracting telescope.
I believe the name of the first telescope was called the "telescope." The word was created from the Greek tele = 'far' and skopein = 'to look or see'; teleskopos = 'far-seeing'.
The first telescope didn't look exactly like the ones that we see today, but it was improved though by the famous astronomer Galileo. The first one is said to have been made about 500 years ago.
Yes, they both use lenses.
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to collect and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes typically have a closed tube design which protects the mirrors from dust and other contaminants, while refracting telescopes are more prone to chromatic aberration. Reflecting telescopes are generally easier to manufacture at larger sizes compared to refracting telescopes.

Lenses and/or mirrors
They both have lenses.
Two large objective lenses.

That telescope you are refering to is called a refracting telescope.
