Final answer:

Refracting and reflecting telescopes collect light in the visible range by using lenses and mirrors to focus the light.

Step-by-step explanation:

The types of telescopes that collect light in the visible range are refracting and reflecting telescopes.

A refracting telescope uses a lens to gather and focus the light. The lens bends, or refracts, the light to converge it to a focal point where it forms an image.

A reflecting telescope uses a curved mirror to gather and focus the light. The mirror reflects the light to a focal point, where an eyepiece or a camera can be used to observe or capture the image.
