Isaac Newton, having convinced himself (erroneously as it turned out) that chromatic aberration is an inherent property of refracting telescopes, invented the reflecting telescope, shown schematically in Fig. 34-59. He presented his second model of this telescope, with a magnifying power of 38, to the Royal Society (of London), which still has it. In Fig. 34-59, incident light falls, closely parallel to the telescope axis, on the objective mirror. After reflection from the small mirror (the figure is not to scale), the rays form a real, inverted image in the focal plane (the plane perpendicular to the line of sight, at focal point F). This image is then viewed through an eyepiece. (a) Show that the angular magnification for the device is given by Eq. 34-15:

m=fob/fey

fob

the focal length of the objective is a mirror and

feyis that of the eyepiece.

(b) The 200 in. mirror in the reflecting telescope at Mt. Palomar in California has a focal length of 16.8 m. Estimate the size of the image formed by this mirror when the object is a meter stick 2.0 km away. Assume parallel incident rays. (c) The mirror of a different reflecting astronomical telescope has an effective radius of curvature of 10 m (鈥渆ffective鈥 because such mirrors are ground to a parabolic rather than a spherical shape, to eliminate spherical aberration defects). To give an angular magnification of 200, what must be the focal length of the eyepiece?

  2. Size of the image is8.4m
  3. Focal length of eyepiece is2.5cm

Step by step solution

01

Given information:

r=10m

Focal length of the mirror is 16.8m

m=200

02

Understanding the given information

The problem is based on the principle of refracting telescopes. It is a type of optical telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image. It also deals with the angular magnification of the telescope. It is the ratio of the tangents of the angles subtended by an object and its image when measured from a given point in the instrument, as with magnifiers and binoculars.

Formula: m=fob/fey (i)

Where v0and vf are the initial and final velocities.

Explanation

(a)

If we swap out the objective lens in Fig. 34-21 for an objective mirror, the concept of the refracting telescope from the textbook applies to the Newtonian configuration (with the light incident on it from the right). This may imply that the head in Fig. 34-21 would obstruct the incident light, which is why Newton included the mirror M' in his design (to move the head and eyepiece out of the way of the incoming light). The advantage of categorizing mirrors and lenses according to their focal lengths is that, in situations like these, it is simple to transfer the findings of the objective-lens telescope to the objective-mirror telescope by simply swapping out one positive f device for another positive f device.

As a result, a concave mirror must be used in place of the converging lens that serves as the objective of Fig. 34-21 (much as Newton did in Fig. 34-58).

The refracting telescope, which produces and angular magnification mgiven by,

m=-fobfey (ii)

Equation (ii) applies equally as well to the Newtonian telescope:m=fob/fey

(b) To estimate the size of the image formed by this mirror when the object is a meter stick 2.0 km away 

A meter stick at a distance of 2000 m subtends an angle of

stick=1m2000m=0.0005rad

Thus, the size of the image formed by the mirror is calculated by multiplying this by the mirror focal length gives

16.8m0.0005=8.4m.

05

(c) To calculate the focal length of the eyepiece 

The focal length is given by,

f=12r, where r is the radius of curvature.

With this, we get

fob=102=5.0m

Applying this in equation (i),

m=fobfey

fey=fobm=5200=2.5cm

Thus, the focal length of eyepiece is 2.5 cm.

9, 11, 13 Spherical mirrors. Object Ostands on the central axis of a spherical mirror. For this situation, each problem in Table 34-3 gives object distance ps (centimeters), the type of mirror, and then the distance (centimeters, without proper sign) between the focal point and the mirror. Find (a) the radius of curvature r (including sign), (b) the image distance i, and (c) the lateral magnification m. Also, determine whether the image is (d) real (R) or virtual (V), (e) inverted (I) from objectO or non-inverted (NI), and (f) on the same side of the mirror asO or on the opposite side.

A pinhole camera has the hole a distance12cmfrom the film plane, which is a rectangle of height 8.0cmand width 6.0cm . How far from a painting of dimensions 50cm by 50cmshould the camera be placed so as to get the largest complete image possible on the film plane?

In Fig. 34-26, stick figure Ostands in front of a spherical mirrorthat is mounted within the boxed region;the central axis through themirror is shown. The four stick figures I1to I4suggest general locationsand orientations for the images that might be produced by themirror. (The figures are onlysketched in; neither their heightsnor their distances from the mirror are drawn to scale.) (a) Whichof the stick figures could not possibly represent images? Of thepossible images, (b) which would be due to a concave mirror, (c)which would be due to a convex mirror, (d) which would be virtual,and (e) which would involve negative magnification?

An object is placed against the center of a spherical mirror and then moved 70 cm from it along the central axis as the image distance i is measured. Figure 34-48 gives i versus object distance p out to ps=40cm. What is the image distance when the object is 70 cm from the mirror?

A fruit fly of height H sits in front of lens 1 on the central axis through the lens. The lens forms an image of the fly at a distance d=20cmfrom the fly; the image has the fly鈥檚 orientation and height H1=2.0H. What are (a) the focal lengthf1 of the lens and (b) the object distance p1of the fly? The fly then leaves lens 1 and sits in front of lens 2, which also forms an image at d=20cmthat has the same orientation as the fly, but now H1=0.50H. What are (c) f2and (d) p2?
