Question

1. how does a catadioptric telescope magnify images?

a catadioptric telescope combines both mirrors and lenses.
a catadioptric telescope magnifies images by measuring wavelengths from the electromagnetic spectrum.
a catadioptric telescope is a type of reflecting telescope that only uses mirrors to magnify images.
a catadioptric telescope is a type of refracting telescope that only uses lenses to magnify images.

Explanation:

Catadioptric telescopes use a combination of reflective mirrors and refractive lenses to gather light and magnify images, distinguishing them from purely reflecting (mirror-only) or refracting (lens-only) telescopes. The other options are incorrect: measuring wavelengths does not explain magnification, and the descriptions of it being only mirror-based or lens-based are inaccurate.

Answer:

A. A catadioptric telescope combines both mirrors and lenses.
