<em>Before, GPS and digital maps are available to military users. Apparently, due to some problems that needs solution with the help of finding locations, getting to the destination easier because you have to find someone or you have to same some lives at stake, GPS became available to common people. GPS or simply known as Global Positioning Satellites uses signals in outer space (by satellites) to navigate or see the whole map or location of a place. The coverage of GPS is the whole planet (Earth). There will be at least 24 satellites need to work together to flash or show the map with almost complete labels and picture. GPS also supports 3D views.  </em>

<em>Finding places becomes easier. Since the scope of GPS is the whole planet, you can browse wider pictures and places that you never visited. The means of data transfer is also fast compared to any maps. And as long as you have a device or connection, you can have access to GPS right away. It is also reliable because you can ensure updated information and map details are all you can get. Not to mention, GPS maps are always accurate and fast.</em>

Select the reasons why most professional telescopes are reflectors rather than refractors.
Julli [10]

Answer:

d). It is easier to make a large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

f). A reflector can collect more light than a refractor.

Explanation:

A telescope is a device that is used to observe distant objects by the use of lenses and mirrors. It is also used to observe different distant objects by their reflection, absorption, emission or the reflection of the electromagnetic radiations.

Most of the professional telescopes are reflectors because :

1. The reflected telescope is able to receive more of the light when it reflects all the light falling on surface. And it is easier for making a large telescope rather then making large lenses for the refracting telescope. So it is easier to make large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

2. A reflected telescope receives all the wavelength of the light and it reflects all the light falling on the surfaces where it is refracted telescope that contains lenses cannot absorbs all the light and causes the chromatic aberration.
