Light Manipulation using telescopes AS91169. Begin report here:

In 1608 the very first telescope was made and used.Inside a telescope there are lenes (smaller kind). There are two different types of lenses Concave and Convex.
(Google Images) in this diagram it show light behavior when passing through a lense. As you may see in the Diagram the concave bends the light to focal point which is known as “F” on that point is where the image is formed. the other lenes is an concave. As

Now The refractor telescope made of plastic (outside) and the lenses are made of glass and any see through material eg Perspects. The image is developed by the two lenses as the light goes through a medium, glass it bend a refracts if the lens is a Convex it will focus the light towards the point F f stands for focal point it where all light rays pass forming the centre of the image. The lenses are see through but there is something called a critical where the angle of refraction is greater angle of incidence 90°. In this diagram it describes the Critical angle and the rule and how the Total internal Reflection is created. (google

    In essence, a telescope eyepiece is an arrangement of lenses in a barrel-shaped array to aid in image magnification. They come in a wide variety of sizes to match the focuser and an equally wide variety of magnification factors and styles. Amazon.com offers a variety of telescope eyepieces up for grabs!…

    This experiment focused on a simple lens system. A simple lens is a piece of glassware that is spherical on one side and flat on another side, or spherical on both sides. There are two different types of lenses. A converging lens, also called a positive lens, and a diverging lens, also known as a negative lens. A converging lens thicker middle area than top and bottom, and the diverging lens has a skinnier mid-section.…

    There are two major designs of telescopes called refracting and reflecting. Refracting telescopes were the first type of telescope invented and work like an eye where a glass lens is used to focus light. There are a few weaknesses to using a refracting telescopes, one being that the glass used for the lens must be perfectly clear and shaped in order for the light to pass through the lens. The second weakness…

    The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), named after James Webb who played a pivotal role in the Apollo program, is renowned for replacing the Hubble space telescope due its uncontested visibility (HubbleSite, 2015), created by modern technology. The JWST cost $8.7 billion US (NASA JWST, 2016) and is scheduled to be launched in October 2018 and will offer unparalleled resolution from long-wavelength, visible light and near infra-red to mid infra-red regions (Ross, 2014). The JWST will have a unique and profound role in transforming the understanding of astrophysics and the origins of galaxies, stars, and planetary systems. This means the JWST…

    It's small enough to fit into one's pocket, but it performs as well as Muggle telescopes many times its size and many times its price. There's a knob for zooming and one for manual focussing. Some Muggle telescopes have these controls too, but this magical telescope refocusses automatically. There's a button for measuring the observed size of a celestial body as seen with the naked eye and another button for measuring the albedo of various parts of a celestial body. The lenses have scratch resistant and break resistant charms on them. Now these features could be easily imitated by Muggle telescopes, but they're not the most impressive things about this model. A Muggle telescope of that size can't go beyond about 50 power without the image getting blurred and shaky too because of the movements of the both the body and the atmosphere. A larger Muggle telescope gets better resolution and a tripod can be used to eliminate shaking of the body, but they're much more expensive, and Muggle ways of further improving the resolution (interferometry) and overcoming the movement of the air (adaptive optics) make these telescopes beyond the financial means of all but the richest amateur astronomers. The student model of the von Rheticus magical telescope uses magic to overcome all these problems at a price that is affordable even to first-year…
