Review Waves and Tools of Astronomy

satellites

• contain instruments to collect data and travel out of Earth's orbit

• collect the light from distant stars and separate that light into bands of different colors

• placed in orbit around Earth with special instruments and telescopes

radio telescopes

• use convex lens to bend and focus light rays to produce images

• use mirrors to focus light rays to produce images of objects in space

• receive radio waves emitted from objects in space

space probes

• telescopes or other instruments that have been launched into outer space to collect data on distant planets, galaxies and other celestial bodies

• collect light from distant stars and separated that light into bands of different colors to identify elements present

• contain instruments to collect data and travel out of Earth's orbit to explore places to dangerous people

What is the definition of reflecting telescope

• Telescopes that bring visible light to focus with mirrors. It is also that that uses convex lenses to gather and focus light.

• Telescopes that help us to look at stars.

• An object that make objects appear nearer.

• Telescope that bring visible light to focus with mirrors

• All of the above

What is refracting telescope.

• It is a telescope that has electromagnetic radiation.

• It was the first invented around the year 1600, used lenses to bring visible light to a focus. It is also called refractors. A telescope that curve mirror to focus light.

• Is it a telescope that has a radio.

• A and B
