Reflecting telescopes can generally be more compact than refracting telescopes Reflecting telescopes use mirrors and refracting telescopes use lenses Refracting telescopes are troubled by atmospheric limitations more than reflecting telescopes Reflecting telescopes are easier to build than refracting telescopes Reflecting telescopes are more common than refracting telescopes a. b. c. d. e. 9. Which of the following telescopes is the best value (i.e. provides the lowest ratio of cost to Light Gathering Power)? a. 4-inch reflector, $230 b. 6-inch reflector, $600 c. 8-inch reflector, $800 d. 10-inch reflector, $1000 e. 12-inch reflector, $1600 10.

A 28mm eyepiece 8mm eyepiece am e provides amagnification and a field of view than a a. greater, larger b. greater, smaller c. lower, larger d. lower, smaller 12. Which of the following could be a correct description of how light travels through a telescope? Light rays come in parallel to each other through an opening the telescope, are reflected by a curved primary mirror, focus onto a secondary mirror, then exit a. acBook Pro

Explanation / Answer

8] Option E is correct.

Refracting telescopes is more common than reflecting telescopes because refracting telescopes is used in the photography and reflecting telesccopes is used in astronomy.
