What is a telescope that uses a mirror to collect light emitted by distant or faint objects?
This type of telescope is often referred to as a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, and can be short and wide. They have an eyepiece that extends at a right angle from the body, and have a disk in the middle of the lens, behind which is the mirror.
How does a concave mirror affect light?
A concave mirror will tend to "focus" light to some degree, depending on the curvature of the mirror. A parabolic mirror will bring reflected light to a sharp focus, and telescopes use this type of curve for the shape of their reflective surface. And for exactly the reasons you think they do.

What happens when light travels through the lens of a telescope?
The light or image is focused at a different position relative to the real position of the emitting light. This is dependent on the type of lens.
If a convergent beam of light is incident on a plane mirror then what type of image will it form?
Real image
A refracting telescope produce an image using an?
A refracting telescope is a type of optical telescope. It was used in astronomical telescopes and spy glasses. Objective lens are used to produce the image.
What does the light gathering ability of a telescope depend on?
A refracting telescope is a type of optical telescope. It was used in astronomical telescopes and spy glasses. Objective lens are used to produce the image.
What type of telescope uses lenses or mirror to gather and focus energy?
the reflecting telescope uses mirrors and lenses. The refracting telescope does not include the mirrors.
What type of telescope does not use mirrors or lenses to gather light?
radiotelescope
Which type of telescope uses lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light?
Optical!!
What type of telescope is the hubble telescope?
The Hubble telescope was a basic reflector telescope with a 94.5 ft mirror. The Hubble collects light though its open end, the primary mirror reflects the light to a secondary mirror that then reflects the light through a hole in the primary mirror to a focal point of the instruments or eyes of the Hubble.
Is hershelian a type of telescope?
Yes, a Hershelian telescope is a type of reflecting telescope in which the primary mirror is tilted so the observer's head does not block the incoming light.
This type of telescope uses concave mirrors to gather light and view the image?
reflecting
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.
What does a telescope gather from objects in space?
The only type of thing that telescopes gather is light! But from the characteristics and position/s of the light/s we may infer great things.

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 type of mirror is at the end of a reflecting telescope?
A parabolic mirror, usually. A spherical mirror is also sometimes used, but that requires additional corrections in other parts of the telescope.
