Space Tech and Stars

Both reflecting and refracting telescopes are designed to

• break visible light into colors of the spectrum.

• separate visible light from ultraviolet and radio waves.

• gather and focus visible light.

• work better with short-wavelength radiation.

Reflecting telescopes differ from refracting telescopes in having

• no eyepiece lens.

• two large objective lenses.

• a mirror instead of an objective lens.

• one large objective lens.

A ______ telescope uses a mirror to focus light onto a small area.

Why is the Hubble telescope located in space?

• So it can be closer to the stars it magnifies

• They have very large optical lenses

• So its images arent distorted by Earth's atmosphere

• So it can be operated by astronauts

One of the issues created by the air surrounding us is:

• Interferometry

• Reflection

• Interference

• Atmospheric blurring

What type of telescope can work 24 hours a day and even be used in the rain?

• Refracting Telescope

• Radio Telescope

• Newtonian Telescope

• Solar Telescope

In general the bigger the telescope's objective the better your _____

• resolution

• magnification

• attitude

• orientation
