Listed following are distinguishing characteristics and examples of reflecting and refracting telescopes. Match these to the appropriate category.

Characteristics of Telescopes

The angular resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope is better for shorter (bluer) wavelengths of light than for longer (redder) wavelengths of light.
The large research observatories on Mauna Kea use giant reflecting telescopes.
Spectrographs separate the various colors of light, allowing astronomers to determine stellar composition and many other stellar properties
The twin 10-m Keck telescopes can work together to obtain better angular resolution through a technique known as interferometry.
The Chandra x-ray observatory focuses X rays with grazing incidence mirrors.
A 10-meter telescope has a larger light-collecting area than a 4-meter telescope.
Galileo’s telescope designs using lenses were examples of refracting telescope
