A friend lends you the eyepiece of his microscope to use on your own microscope. He claims the spatial resolution of your microscope will be halved, since his eyepiece has the same diameter as yours but twice the magnification. Is his claim valid? Explain.
The resolution of a digital cameras is limited by two factors diffraction by the lens, a limit of any optical system, and the fact that the sensor is divided into discrete pixels. consirer a typical point-and--shoot camera that has a lens and a sensor with pixels.
(a) . First, assume an ideal, diffractionless lens, at a distance of what is the smallest distance, in between two point sources of light that the camera can barely resolve? in answering this question, consider what has to happen on the sensor to show two image points rather than one you can use
(b) . You can achieve the pixel-limied resolution of part a only if the diffraction which of each image point no greater than the diffraction width of image point is no greater than pixel in diameter. for what lens diameter is the minimum spot size equal to the width of a pixel ? use for the wavelength of light.
(c). what is the of the lens for the diameter you found in part b? your answer is a quite realistic value of the at which a camera transitions from being pixel limited to being diffraction limited for smaller than this (larger-diameter apertures), the resolution is limited by the pixel size and does not change as you change the apertures. for larger than this (smaller-diameter apertures). the resolution is limited by diffraction and it gets worse as you "stop down" to smaller apertures.
A -diameter microscope objective has a focal length of . What object distance gives a lateral magnification of ?
The lens shown in FIGURE CP is called an achromatic doublet, meaning that it has no chromatic aberration. The left side is flat, and all other surfaces have radii of curvature R.
a. For parallel light rays coming from the left, show that the effective focal length of this two-lens system is , where localid="1648757054673" and are, respectively, the indices of refraction of the diverging and the converging lenses. Don’t forget to make the thin-lens approximation.
b. Because of dispersion, either lens alone would focus red rays and blue rays at different points. Define and as for the two lenses. What value of the ratio makes for the two-lens system? That is, the two-lens system does not exhibit chromatic aberration.
c. Indices of refraction for two types of glass are given in the table. To make an achromatic doublet, which glass should you use for the converging lens and which for the diverging lens? Explain
Crown glass 1.525 1.517
Flint glass 1.632 1.616
d. What value of R gives a focal length of ?
The center of the galaxy is filled with low-density hydrogen gas that scatters light rays. An astronomer wants to take a picture of the center of the galaxy. Will the view be better using ultraviolet light, visible light, or infrared light? Explain.
