उत्तर १
The two advantages of a reflecting telescope over a refracting telescope are as follows:
(i) There is no chromatic aberration in case of reflecting telescopes as the objective is a mirror.
(ii) Spherical aberration is reduced in case of reflecting telescopes by using mirror objective in the form of a paraboloid.
उत्तर २
Two advantages of a reflecting telescope over a refracting telescope are:
1) Chromatic aberration is absent in reflecting type telescope whereas it is present in refracting type telescope. The absence of chromatic aberration in reflecting type telescope is because the objective is a mirror.
2) Images are brighter compared to that in a refracting type telescope.
उत्तर ३
Reflecting telescope remove chrometic and spherical aberration.
