Which two aberrations do objectives of refracting telescope suffer from? How are these overcome in reflecting telescope?

उत्तर

Refracting telescope suffer from chromatic and spherical aberrations.
Chromatic aberration: The image of a white object formed by a lens is coloured and blurred. This inability of lens to form a clear image is known as chromatic aberration.

Spherical aberration: The inability of a lens to form a point image of an axial point object is called spherical aberration.

In the reflecting-type telescope, the objective lens is replaced by the concave parabolic mirror of a large aperture required for observing fainter objects. The use of parabolic mirror makes the resolving power of the telescope high. The parabolic mirrors are free from chromatic and spherical aberrations.
