What is the function of the object lens in the microscope?
It is an optical instrument that gathers light from the object being observed and focus the light rays to produce a real image. They are also called objectives. In microscopes, lenses are found at the bottom near the sample. They are mainly used at telescopes, microscopes and cameras.
What are the lenses found in a light microscope called?
the zoom the tester the power and the light
What are three uses for the ray model?
The three uses for the ray model of light are: to understand how light moves in straight lines, reflects off mirrors, and refracts through lenses.
Telescope collects and focuses light using a mirror?
Yes, or lenses. Called reflector and refractors respectfully.
What effects does light have on concave and convex mirrors?
Light has little or no effect on a mirror. The mirrors follow the rule: "the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection". Concave mirrors concentrate light to a point and convex spread it out.
How do mirrors and lenses compare in their interaction with light?
Mirrors reflect light; lenses do not. APEX 0-0
What type of telescope uses lenses or mirrors to gather focus light energy?
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
Do mirrors reflect or refract light?
A prism refracts light, and a mirror reflects light.
Can mirrors cameras telescope and eye glasses refract light?
Mirrors don't refract, they reflect. All lenses, on the other hand, refract (bend) the light. All cameras have lenses, to focus the image; same for eyeglasses. Some telescopes have lenses, but others are collections of mirrors. Note that some few optical elements are lenses and mirrors - like prescription sunglasses with mirror coating.
What type of telescope does not use mirrors or lenses to gather light?
radiotelescope
How do mirrors and lenses affect light?
by having a same common demominator
How does the refracting telescope use light?
It bends the light with lenses and mirrors, so your answer would be yes.
Why is the objective lenss called the objective lenss on the microscope?
The objective lenses are the optical element that gathers light from the 'object' being observed and they focus the light rays to produce a real image.
What instruments use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant?
A telescope uses lens and mirrors to collect and focus light from distant object.
Which type of telescope uses lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light?
Optical!!
How do mirrors and lenses affect light rays?
by having a same common demominator
How does light behave when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors?
It reflects off of them.
