There
are two types
of telescope ,the
refractor and the

The
refractor works by
light bending or
refracting.
The reflector works by
light reflecting.
The Refracting Telescope
The refracting telescope consists
of two convex lenses.
The objective lens collects light
from distant objects such as
planets and stars. It forms an image
of them.
The eyepiece lens then magnifies this
image.
