37. The image below shows the design of a refracting telescope.

When light passes through a prism different colours split and dispersion takes place. The same
thing happens with a lens but to a much lesser degree. This is called chromatic aberration and
causes the different colours of light to focus at different points. To overcome this problem, the
reflecting telescope was invented. One design of the reflecting telescope is shown below

(a) Why is there no chromatic aberration in reflecting telescopes?

(b) One of the critical factors affecting a telescope is the amount of light it can gather. The more
light a telescope can gather, the better the image it produces. What can be done to the lens to
increase the amount of light a telescope gathers?
(c) In the refracting telescope given in the passage, what should be the distance between the two
lenses? (Use the first ray diagram in the passage to answer it.)

concave lens.
