A reflection telescope is build with a 20cmdiameter mirror having a 1.00mfocal length. it is used with a 10Xeyepiece. what are

(a) the magnification and

(b) the f-numberof the telescope?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) 42km/s,

(b)1800km/s.

Step by step solution

01

part (a) Step 1: Given information

reflection telescope = 20cm

focallength=1.00m

using with a 10x eyepiece we need to find magnification

02

part (a) Step 2: simplify

Since the energy is conserved, all the energy due to the potential drop will be converted to kinetic energy

This means that

qV=mv22

from this, we can find the speed of the particles to be

ν=2qVm

The absolute value of the charges will be the same, e. Also, the product eVwill not change the sign since to accelerate two opposite charges we will have to apply opposite polarity accelerating potential differences. having said that we will numerically have

for the case of the portion

ν=2.1.6.10-19.9.1.67.10-27=4.2.104m/s

03

part (b) Step 3: Given information

reflection telescope = 20cm

focallength=1.00m

using with a10Xeyepiece we need to find f-numberof the telescope

04

Calculation

For the case of the electrons

ν=2.1.6.10-19.99.1.10-31=1.8.106m/s

| Marooned on a desert island and with a lot of time on your hands, you decide to disassemble your glasses to make a crude telescope with which you can scan the horizon for rescuers. Luckily you’re farsighted, and, like most people, your two eyes have different lens prescriptions. Your left eye uses a lens of power +4.5 D, and your right eye’s lens is +3.0 D. a. Which lens should you use for the objective and which for the eyepiece? Explain.

b. What will be the magnification of your telescope?

c. How far apart should the two lenses be when you focus on distant objects?

A camera has a circular aperture immediately behind the lens. Reducing the aperture diameter to half its initial value will

A. Make the image blurry.

B. Cut off the outer half of the image and leave the inner half unchanged.

C. Make the image less bright.

D. All the above.

Explain your choice.

White light is incident onto a 30°prism at the 40°angle shown in figurep35.41. violet light emerges perpendicular to the rear face of the prism. The index of refraction of violet light in this glass is 2.0%larger than the index of refraction of red light. At what angle does red light emerges from the rear face?

Two light bulbs are 1.0mapart. from, what distance can these light bulbs be marginally resolved by a small telescope with a 4.0-cm-diameterobjective lens? assume that the lens is diffraction limited andλ=600nm.

A 20xtelescope has a 12cmdiameter objective lens. What minimum diameter must the eyepiece lens have to collect all the light rays from an on-axis distant source?
