### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: Understanding the Reflecting Type Telescope** A reflecting telescope uses mirrors to gather and focus light. The primary component is a large concave mirror that collects light from distant objects and reflects it to a focal point. A secondary mirror, often flat, redirects the light to an eyepiece where the image can be viewed. **Step 2: Components of a Reflecting Telescope** - **Primary Mirror**: A large concave mirror that gathers light. - **Secondary Mirror**: A smaller mirror that reflects the light to the eyepiece. ...
