What telescope has an eyepiece lens and a mirror?
A reflecting telescope has both an eyepiece lens and a mirror. Light enters the telescope and is reflected off the primary mirror to a secondary mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece where it is magnified for viewing.
Which part of a refracting telescope forms the image?
Eyepiece, Primary Mirror, Secondary Mirror, Prime Focus.
What telescope with 2 lenses called?
A refracting telescope uses lenses. The primary objective is the larger lens and the first point of light refraction. A smaller, secondary lens is located between the primary lens and the eyepiece as acts as another refraction device to correct or reverse the refractive aberration of the primary.
A Newtonian reflector needs no secondary mirrors?
It is not essential to have a secondary mirror on a Newtonian telescope, but the reason there is one is for practicality. If you mounted an eyepiece at the focus of the primary mirror, your head would be directly in the light path, blocking much of the light from entering the tube. The same reason applies to cameras, but with modern CCD cameras being circular and small, it is possible to mount one at the focus of the primary mirror. Indeed, doing this may block less light than a secondary mirror would, certainly in the case of a large aperture instrument (for example 300mm and above.)
What telescope design has a hole in the center of the main mirror?
A telescope design that has a hole in the center of the main mirror is called a "Cassegrain telescope." This design uses a secondary mirror to reflect the light back through the hole in the primary mirror to the eyepiece or sensor, allowing for a more compact design and longer focal length.
What telescope has an eyepiece lens and a mirror?
A reflecting telescope has both an eyepiece lens and a mirror. Light enters the telescope and is reflected off the primary mirror to a secondary mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece where it is magnified for viewing.
Which part of a refracting telescope forms the image?
Eyepiece, Primary Mirror, Secondary Mirror, Prime Focus.
What is the power of the eyepiece?
The magnification, or power, at which a telescope is operating is a function of the focal length of the telescope's main (objective) lens (or primary mirror) and the focal length of the eyepiece employed.
What are the main components and functions of a reflecting telescope, as shown in a diagram?
A reflecting telescope consists of a concave mirror that reflects and focuses light to create an image. The main components include the primary mirror, secondary mirror, and eyepiece. The primary mirror gathers light and reflects it to the secondary mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece for viewing. The functions of these components work together to produce a magnified and clear image of distant objects in space.
What telescope with 2 lenses called?
A refracting telescope uses lenses. The primary objective is the larger lens and the first point of light refraction. A smaller, secondary lens is located between the primary lens and the eyepiece as acts as another refraction device to correct or reverse the refractive aberration of the primary.
What is the purpose of the secondary mirror in a telescope?
The purpose of the secondary mirror in a telescope is to reflect and redirect the light gathered by the primary mirror towards the eyepiece or camera, allowing for magnification and clearer viewing of distant objects.

How many mirrors does a reflecting telescope have?
A reflecting telescope only needs one mirror, the primary mirror which will focus incoming light to a single point. A digital telescope might place the digital recording media directly in front of the reflecting telescope without any additional mirrors (although perhaps some lenses). For practical purposes though, most optical telescope will have a secondary mirror that will either focus light straight back through a hole in the primary telescope mirror, or to the side of the telescope. Some telescopes, especially the large ones in observatories will have several mirrors directing the light path to the observer or recording equipment.
What are the lenses called in a reflector telescope?
The lenses used in reflector telescope is the concave lens.
If the primary mirror of a telescope have a focal length of 225 centimeters and the eyepiece has a focal length of 7.5 millimeters then what is the magnifying power of the telescope?
The magnifying power of a telescope is the focal length of the scope in millimeters, divided by the focal length of the eyepiece in millimeters. Focal length of scope: 225cm=2250mm Focal length of eyepiece: 7.5mm 2250/7.5= 300X
What does a reflecting telescope use to form images of faraway objects?
A reflecting telescope uses mirrors to form images of faraway objects. Light enters the telescope and is reflected off the primary mirror to a secondary mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece or camera for viewing.
