Answer:

Concave mirror

Explanation:

  • Reflecting telescopes is a type of telescope that uses mirrors instead of lens. This is because mirrors are lighter and thus are easier to make perfectly smooth as compared to lenses.
  • Reflecting telescopes use concave mirrors for the purposes of bringing light gathered to a certain focus.
  • <em><u>Concave mirror in reflecting telescopes collects parallel rays from the object and forms an image at the focal point. </u></em>

o-na [289]
The equation we use is mλ=dsinθ for intensity maximas. We are given at the first maximum (m=1), it occurs at 17.8 degrees. Thus we can solve for d by substituting known values into our equation.

(1) (632.8*10^-9m)=dsin(17.8) => d = 2.07*10^-6m

Next we want to find the angle at the second maximum (m=2) so we need to solve for θ.

(2) (632.8*10^-9m) = (2.07*10^-6m)sinθ

θ=37.69 degrees

Hopes this helps!

P.S. I hope this is right. If not sorry in advance.
