Chapter 35: Q. 48 (page 1019)

Your task in physics laboratory is to make a microscope from two lenses. One lens has a focal length of 2.0 cm, the other 1.0 cm. You plan to use the more powerful lens as the objective, and you want the eyepiece to be 16 cm from the objective.

a. For viewing with a relaxed eye, how far should the sample be from the objective lens?

b. What is the magnification of your microscope?

The Hubble Space Telescope has a mirror diameter of 2.4 m. Suppose the telescope is used to photograph stars near the center of our galaxy, 30,000 light years away, using red light with a wavelength of 650 nm.

a. What’s the distance (in km) between two stars that are marginally resolved? The resolution of a reflecting telescope is calculated exactly the same as for a refracting telescope.

b. For comparison, what is this distance as a multiple of the distance of Jupiter from the sun?

A 1.0cm-tall object is 110cmfrom a screen. A diverging lens with focal length-20cmis 20cmin front of the object. What are the focal length and distance from the screen of a second lens that will produce a well-focused, 2.0cm-tall image on the screen?

A beam of white light enters a transparent material. Wavelengths for which the index of refraction is n are refracted at angle θ2. Wavelengths for which the index of refraction is n+δn, where δn<<n , are refracted at angle θ2+δθ.

a). Show that the angular separation of the two wavelengths, in radians, is δθ=-(δnn)tanθ2

b). A beam of white light is incident on a piece of glass at 30.0°. Deep violet light is refracted 0.28° more than deep red light. The index of refraction for deep red light is known to be 1.552. What is the index of refraction for deep violet light?

High-power lasers are used to cut and weld materials by focusing the laser beam to a very small spot. This is like using a magnifying lens to focus the sun light to a small spot that can burn things. As an engineer you have designed a laser cutting device in which the material to be cut is placed 5.0cmbehind the lens. you have selected a high-power laser with a wavelength of

your calculation indicates that the laser must be focused to a 5.0-μm-diameterspot in order to have sufficient power to make the cut. what is the minimum diameter of lens you must install?

A scientist needs to focus a helium-neon laser beam (λ=633nm)to a 10-μm-diameterspot 8.0cmbehind a lens

(a) what focal-length lens should she use?

(b) what minimum diameter must the lens have?
