Modern telescopes prefer using suitable mirrors over using suitable lenses. Give two reasons for this preference. |
|
Answer» Solution :Modern telescopes prefer using concave mirror of large APERTURE as the objective instead of convex lens due to the following reasons : (1) There is no chromatic aberration in a mirror. (2) If the mirror is a parabolic mirror then even spherical aberration is also removed. (3) Mechanical support of reflecting type telescope is easy to design and install because mirror weigh much LESS than a lens of equivalent optical quality. (4) It is possible to have telescope objective mirror of larger aperture. In this way we can design telescopes of HIGHER RESOLVING power and greater viewing RANGE. |
