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 Newtonian telescope work to gather and focus light from distant celestial objects?

A Newtonian telescope uses a concave mirror to gather and focus light from distant celestial objects. The mirror reflects the light to a smaller flat mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece for viewing. This design allows for a clear and magnified image of the object being observed.


What type of telescope uses two lenses?

A refracting telescope uses two lenses - an objective lens to gather light and focus it and an eyepiece lens to magnify the image.


What mirror will diverge light rays?

A concave mirror will diverge light rays if they are incident from the object beyond the focal point. This type of mirror causes light rays to spread apart after reflection, creating a virtual image that appears behind the mirror.


What does a refracting telescope do and how does it differ from other types of telescopes?

Ah, a refracting telescope is a wonderful invention! It works by using a lens to bend or refract light, helping us see objects in the distance with more clarity. Unlike other types of telescopes, like reflectors or catadioptrics, refracting telescopes use lenses instead of mirrors to gather and focus light. Remember, there's no right or wrong choice when it comes to telescopes – each one has its unique beauty and purpose!

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 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.

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.

How does this type of telescope gather emr?

Well that depends on what kind of telescope you are talking about. I have a masters degree in space studies and I am currently working at Cambridge University so if you would like any help in your future, please be sure to email me at doomlad1232011@hotmail.ca I'am here to help!

Which type of telescope did Galileo turn skyward in 1610?

Galileo turned a refracting telescope, which uses lenses to gather and focus light, skyward in 1610. This allowed him to make groundbreaking astronomical observations such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus.
