Get started for freeA microscope with a tube length of 180 mm achieves a total magnification of 800* with a 40* objective and a 20* eyepiece. The microscope is focused for viewing with a relaxed eye. How far is the sample from the objective lens?
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 and your right eye’s lens is . 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 converging lens with a focal length of and a diverging lens with a focal length of are apart. A tall object is in front of the converging lens.
a. Use ray tracing to find the position and height of the image. Do this accurately using a ruler or paper with a grid, then make measurements on your diagram.
b. Calculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in part a.
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.
