Why concave mirror is used in telescope?
Why concave mirror is used in telescope?Give answer with explaination.
From my studies, i knew that there r two types of telescopes:
1) Refracting telescope (doesn't need concave mirror)
2) Reflecting telescope ( need concave mirror, & its has 2 types)
Refracting telescope:
----------------------------
Construction:
- Objective lens
- The eyepiece
How it works:
- The objective lens forms a real, inverted, (diminished) small image of the object, which lies at the focus becouse the incident rays r parallel
- The eyepiece forms a virtual, erect, magnified image of the object, inverted (with respect to the original object), this image lies at a distance from the eye = 25 cm in normal person
Reflecting telescope:
---------------------------
1st type:
-----------
Construction:
- Concave mirror
- Plane mirror
- converging lens
How it works:
- The concave mirror recieves the parallel rays emitted from the object to be observed & reflected them towards the focus
- The path of the reflected rays is changed before reaching the focus of the plane mirror to fall on the eyepiece (lens)
- The eyepiece recieves the rays reflected from the plane mirror & the final image is seen through it (or mirror recorded on a sensitive film)
2nd type:
------------
Construction:
- Concave mirror
- Convex mirror
- Converging lens
How it works:
- The concave mirror recieves the parallel rays emitted from the object to be observed & reflected them towards its focus
- The path of the reflectedrays is changed before reaching the focus by the convex mirror, which reflect them once again towards a hole in the concave mirror to fall on the eyepiece (lens)
- The eyepiece recieves the rays reflected from the convex mirror & the final image is seen through it (or recorded on a sensitive film)
Also the real reasons behind using concave mirrors in reflecting telescope:
1) Decrease its mass
2) Get rid of defects of lens
3) recieve parallel rays & reflect them to a plane mirror or convex mirror, which also reflect them to the eyepiece
i hope u got ur point from my explanation
