Unit 3, Section 1 Telescopes Telescopes Vocab Words for this section are: – – – – Reflecting Telescope Refracting Telescope Radio Telescope Space Telescope Telescopes Hans Lippershey was the inventor of the telescope in 1608. Galileo was the first to use a telescope to study the sky in 1609. The invention and use of the telescope began a huge number of discoveries in the field of astronomy. Telescopes 3 types of telescopes – Optical Telescopes study visible light. Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to bounce light from an objective lens to an eyepiece lens Refracting telescopes use lens to bend light and magnify images coming through an objective lens. – Radio Telescopes study radio waves from earth. – Space Telescopes travel out of Earth’s atmosphere to study the other types of radiation not visible to the naked eye, and the radiation that cannot make it through earth’s protective atmosphere. Telescopes Optical Telescopes study the visible light section of the electromagnetic spectrum. They uses mirrors and/or lenses to magnify the light. Telescopes One type of Optical Telescope is the Reflecting Telescope – Within this telescope there are mirrors to bounce the light traveling through. Reflecting Telescope Another Reflecting Telescope Telescopes Another type of Optical telescopes is the Refracting Telescope – Within this telescope there are lenses to bend the light traveling through. Refracting Telescope Convex Lens Telescopes Radio Telescopes use a parabolic antenna and a receiver to study radio waves. – Radio Waves are a type of radiation that is not normally visible to the naked eye. Radio Telescope World’s Largest Radio Telescope Telescopes Space telescopes travel out of earth’s atmosphere to study all different types of radiation that can not make it through earth’s atmosphere. – Examples are the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra Space Telescopes Hubble Space Telescope
