<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Large mirrors are easier to build than large lenses.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Reflector telescopes have a number of advantages as compared to refracting telescopes and other types of telescopes. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Reflector telescopes do not suffer from chromatic aberration because all wavelengths will reflect off the mirror in the same way. The support for the objective mirror is all along the back side so they can be made very large.</u></em>
  • Additionally, reflector telescopes are cheaper to make than refractors of the same size. Also since in reflector telescopes light is reflecting off the objective, rather than passing through it, only one side of the reflector telescope's objective needs to be perfect.

Light having a dual nature and acting like both a wave and a particle is the correct statement in this scenario.

<h3>What is Light?</h3>

This refers to the electromagnetic radiation found in the electromagnetic spectrum that is perceived by the human eye and has a dual nature. It doesn't require a medium for its propagation unlike sound.

The dual nature of light is as a result of it behaving like a photon which is why it travels in straight lines.

It also behave like a wave because it undergoes processes such as reflection, refraction etc which are common to waves.
