The Galilean Telescope. Figure P34.100 is a diagram of a Galilean telescope, or opera glass, with both the object and its final image at infinity. The image serves as a virtual object for the eyepiece. The final image is virtual and erect. (a) Prove that the angular magnification is M=-f1/f2. (b) A Galilean telescope is to be constructed with the same objective lens as in Exercise 34.61. What focal length should the eyepiece have if this telescope is to have the same magnitude of angular magnification as the one in Exercise 34.61? (c) Compare the lengths of the telescopes.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The magnification of Galilean telescope is M=-f1/f2..
  2. The focal length of eyepiece should belocalid="1663921584177" -15cm.
  3. The focal length of telescope is less than the Exercise 34.61.

Step by step solution

01

Define the magnificationM.

The ratio of the distance of the imageu'to the ratio of the object uis known as magnification M.

M=-u'u

The ratio of real image y'and focal length f2is the distance of the image u'.

u'=y'f2

The ratio of real image y'and focal length f1is the distance of the object u.

u=y'f1

02

Given Data

Given that,

M=6.33f1=95cm

03

Determine the magnification.

The magnification of the Telescope is:

M=-u'u

Where, u'is y'f2and uis y'f2.

Substitute the u'andu in magnification formula

M=-u'u=-y'lf2y'lf1=-f1f2

Hence, proved M=-f1f2.

04

Find the focal length.

Given that,

M=6.33f1=95cm

Substitute the values of f1and MinM=-f1f2

M=-f1f26.33=-95f2f2=-956.33f2=-15cm

Hence, the focal length of eyepiece should be -15cm.

05

Compare the focal length.

The total focal length of telescope is:

f=f1+f2=95+-15=82cm

Hence, the focal length of telescope is less than the Exercise 34.61.

The left end of a long glass rod 8.00 cm in diameter, with an index of refraction of 1.60, is ground and polished to a convex hemispherical surface with a radius of 4.00 cm. An object in the form of an arrow 1.50 mm tall, at right angles to the axis of the rod, is located on the axis 24.0 cm to the left of the vertex of the convex surface. Find the position and height of the image of the
arrow formed by paraxial rays incident on the convex surface. Is the image erect or inverted?

A spherical mirror is cut in half horizontally. Will an image be formed by the bottom half of the mirror? If so, where will the image be formed?

Ordinary Glasses: Ordinary glasses are worn in front of the eye and usually 2.0 cm in front of the eyeball. Suppose that the person in previous exercise prefers ordinary glasses to contact lenses. What focal length lenses are needed to correct his vision, and what is their power in diopters?

A convex spherical mirror with a focal length of magnitude 24.0 cm is placed 20.0 cm to the left of a plane mirror. An object 0.250 cm tall is placed midway between the surface of the plane mirror and the vertex of the spherical mirror. The spherical mirror forms multiple images of the object. Where are the two images of the object formed by the spherical mirror that are closest to the spherical mirror, and how tall is each image?

The eyes of amphibians such as frogs have a much flatter cornea but a more strongly curved (almost spherical) lens than do the eyes of air-dwelling mammals. In mammalian eyes, the shape (and therefore the focal length) of the lens changes to enable the eye to focus at different distances. In amphibian eyes, the shape of the lens doesn’t change. Amphibians focus on objects at different distances by using specialized muscles to move the lens closer to or farther from the retina, like the focusing mechanism of a camera. In air, most frogs are near-sighted; correcting the distance vision of a typical frog in air would require contact lenses with a power of about -6.0 D .Given that frogs are nearsighted in air, which statement is most likely to be true about their vision in water? (a) They are even more nearsighted; because water has a higher index of refraction than air, a frog’s ability to focus light increases in water. (b) They are less nearsighted, because the cornea is less effective at refracting light in water than in air. (c) Their vision is no different, because only structures that are internal to the eye can affect the eye’s ability to focus. (d) The images projected on the retina are no longer inverted, because the eye in water functions as a diverging lens rather than a converging lens.
