MCQ
A reflecting telescope utilizes
- ✓A concave mirror
- BA convex mirror
- CA prism
- DA plano-convex lens
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
A concave mirror
a
(a) Unlike convex mirrors, concave mirrors show different image types depending on the distance between the object and the mirror. That is why a reflecting telescope utilizes a concave mirror. If you observe the design of a reflecting telescope, it uses the incoming rays to focus through a concave mirror to focus on the second mirror which in turn sends the rays to the eye-piece. So, the concave mirror is intrinsic to the design of a reflecting telescope.
