The statement about Newton’s reflecting telescope contains 1 error. Find the error, write it, and replace it with the correct information.

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.
