Question

State whether the following statement is True or False.

The instrument that is used to see things of celestial bodies like stars and planets is called as gyroscope

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The astronomical telescope is used for terrestrial viewing to see things of celestial bodies like stars and planets, but seeing the image upside down makes inconvenience, while viewing stars upside down has no problem.

It uses two positive lenses: the objective, which forms the image of a distant object at its focal length, and the eyepiece, which acts as a simple magnifier with which to view the image formed by the objective.
