1. Describe the basics of an astronomical telescope using light-ray diagrams.

2. What is the formula fr the magnification of an astronomical telescope made of lenses with focal lengths F_0 and F_e? Provide a brief, concise explanation; a drawing would help.

3. Describe the basics of a mircoscope using light-ray diagrams.

4. What is the basic difference between a telescope and a mircoscope and their constructions?

Solutions

Expert Solution

astronomical telescope is an optical instrument which is used for observing distinct images of heavenly bodies like stars , planets etc. it consists of two lenses , the objective lens O , which is of large focal length and large aperture and eye piece E which has small focal length.

3. Microscope ::

4. microscope is used to view small things that are very near but telescope is used to see very far objects like .planets.

the aperture of lens is much larger in a telescope as compared to microscope.

focal length is large in telescope as compared to the microscope
