Telescopes are tools used to study the night sky. The key to any telescope is getting as much information from the night sky as possible. This is done by taking advantage of the physical properties of light.
The Main Idea
Telescopes take utilizes complicated systems of Mirrors and Lenses
Types of Telescopes
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
Refracting Telescopes
Reflecting Telescopes
Different Models of Reflecting Telescopes
