Question

How does a reflecting telescope work?

Answer 1

Refracting telescopes use lenses to focus the light, and reflecting telescopes use mirrors. I'll talk first about refracting ones. Refracting telescopes work by using two lenses to focus the light and make it look like the object is closer to you than it really is. ... Instead, they use mirrors to focus the light together.

Answer 2

Reflecting telescope – This uses mirrors and also lenses.

In Reflecting telescope, the image formed by the objective acts as object for the eye piece which forms the final image. Objective lens has large diameter and larger focal length because of which maximum amount of light coming from the distant object can be collected.
