Question

Which of the following is true regarding a reflecting telescope?

• A. A reflecting telescope uses only lenses to see distant objects clearly.
• B. A reflecting telescope uses only mirrors to see distant objects clearly.
• C. A reflecting telescope uses both mirros and lenses to see distant objects clearly.
• D. A reflecting telescope uses neither mirrors nor lenses to see distant objects clearly.

Answer 1

The correct option is C A reflecting telescope uses both mirros and lenses to see distant objects clearly.

A reflecting telescope is a telescope that uses a combination of mirrors and lenses to form an image. Reflecting telescopes have many advantages over refracting telescopes. Combination of mirrors and lenses produces sharp images. Also they are easier and cheaper to build.
