Lab 8 This chapter give as closer look into binoculars and telescopes. Hans Lippershey invented the telescope. He tested this by looking at small object in the floor. There are two different kinds of telescopes. These two different kinds of telescopes are the refractor and reflector. As the name states it the reflecting telescope uses mirrors to reflect the image and come back into the pupil. First the light goes through the front of the telescope and goes in the concave mirror. When this is done the light and image is passed on to the flat mirror and is reflected into the eye piece and the image goes into the pupil. The refractor telescope uses lenses to magnify the image. The light first goes in the primary lens and then the light goes …show more content…
There are only a few items needed to assemble a refracting telescope. The items needed are two long paper roll tubes (one should be bigger than the other), two lenses, glue/tape, rings to hold the lenses (small enough to fit the lenses snuggly in), scissors, and paint (optional). First place the lens in the ring. Repeat for the second lens. The ring can be smaller than the tube so that it fits snugly, however doing so will make it harder to keep it straight and aligned. The other way is to glue it to the tube making it easier to fit it. Repeat this step to the other side. The painting step is optional and the design does not matter. Now just slide in and out to focus it to an …show more content…
