Question

Refracting telescope focusses the light coming from distant objects using refraction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Refracting telescope focusses the light coming from distant objects using refraction. The setup is made such that the distant objects appear brighter, clearer and magnified as compared to the naked eyes.
Most refracting telescopes use two main lenses. The largest lens is called the objective lens, and the smaller lens used for viewing is called the eyepiece lens.
