63% Answer Correctly

low-altitude

mid-altitude

all-altitude

high-altitude


Solution

5

Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?

42% Answer Correctly

concave mirror

convex lens

concave lens

convex mirror


Solution

A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
