A microscope has a tube length. What focal-length objective will give total magnification localid="1649845070556" when used with an eyepiece having a focal length ?
Suppose a camera鈥檚 exposure is correct when the lens has a focal length of 8.0 mm. Will the picture be overexposed, underexposed, or still correct if the focal length is 鈥渮oomed鈥 to 16.0 mm without changing the diameter of the lens aperture? Explain
A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: (red) and (blue). The light enters
a flint-glass prism perpendicular to one face and then refracts
through the hypotenuse back into the air. The angle between
these two faces is .
a. Use Figure to estimate to the index of refraction
of flint glass at these two wavelengths.
b. What is the angle (in degrees) between the red and blue light
as it leaves the prism?
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鈥檙e farsighted, and, like most people, your two eyes have different lens prescriptions. Your left eye uses a lens of power and your right eye鈥檚 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?
