Meaning of "refracting telescope"

A refracting telescope is a type of optical telescope that uses a lens to gather and focus light to form an image. It consists of a large objective lens at the front, which refracts (bends) light and brings it to a focus, and an eyepiece lens at the back, which magnifies and allows viewing of the image. Refracting telescopes are commonly used for astronomical observations
Show more definitions
  • A telescope which produces a magnified image by refracting light through a series of lenses housed in a tube, with a light-gathering objective lens at one end and an eyepiece at the other.
