How do refracting telescopes work?
Open in App
Solution
- Most refracting telescopes are made with two or more lenses.
- The two lenses are called objective lens and an eyepiece lens.
- The objective lens should be large so that maximum light can be collected from the source.
- Using the light collected, the eyepiece lens which is small in size, produces a large image of the source.
