To prepare: Areport that describes the method used for grinding, polishing, and testing mirrors used for reflecting telescopes.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A reflecting telescope (also known as a reflector) is a telescope using either a single or a combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image.
Generally, the amateur methods are simply rubbing blanks one against another, which causes varying grits between them. But the students follow different methods for testing the mirrors used in the telescope. Hence, there are different processes followed in different labs.
