An astronomer is trying to observe two distant stars. The stars are marginally resolved when she looks at them through a filter that passes green light with a wavelength near 550 nm. Which of the following actions would improve the resolution? Assume that the resolution is not limited by the atmosphere.
A. Changing the filter to a different wavelength. If so, should she use a shorter or a longer wavelength?
B. Using a telescope with an objective lens of the same diameter but a different focal length. If so, should she select a shorter or a longer focal length?
C. Using a telescope with an objective lens of the same focal length but a different diameter. If so, should she select a larger or a smaller diameter?
D. Using an eyepiece with a different magnification. If so, should she select an eyepiece with more or less magnification?
A narrow beam of white light is incident on a sheet of quartz. The beam disperses in the quartz, with red light traveling at an angle of with respect to the normal and violet light traveling at . The index of refraction of quartz for red light is . What is the index of refraction of quartz for violet light?
A microscope with a tube length of achieves a total magnification of with a objectives and a eye piece. The microscope is focused for viewing with a related eye. how far is the sample from the objective lens?
In figure , parallel rays from the left are focused to a point at two locations on the optical axis. find the position of each location, giving your answer as a distance left or right of the lens.

Two converging lenses with focal lengths of 40 cm and 20 cm are 10 cm apart. A 2.0-cm-tall object is 15 cm in front of the 40-cm-focal-length 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.
