Question

Which is not an advantage that a reflector telescope has over a refractor telescope? A. Flaws and bubbles in the material inside a thick mirror are not a problem, while flaws and bubbles in the material inside a thick lens are. B. Reflectors can be built with much bigger apertures. C. The device that collects the light is more easily supported in a reflector. D. Reflectors avoid the problem of chromatic aberration in the lens. E. A reflector doesn’t have to deal with the twinkling of the stars, as a refractor does.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer E is false because the two instruments see the flickering of the stars, so this is not a characteristic of a reflector

Explanation:

Let's analyze the characteristics of a reflecting telescope.

 

- use reflection to create images

- does not have the chromatic aberration problem

Let's see the responses a, b, c and d are characteristics of a refractor

Answestars, so this is not a characteristic of a reflector

Answer E is false because the two instruments see the flickering of the stars, so this is not a characteristic of a reflector
