Refracting telescopes distort the color of light. Newton thought that refracting telescopes
distorted light in the same way that prisms did. Newton also believed that a reflecting telescope
would not distort the color, because mirrors do not shift the wavelengths of the incoming light.
Through his efforts, Newton created the first reflecting telescope. Light enters the telescope and
reflects off a rough convex mirror at the back of the telescope. This light then is reflected to a
smooth, flat diagonal mirror, which then reflects the light out to the eyepiece. * US
