If an astronomical telescope has the magnification of -31.0 ? and its objective lens has a focal length of 75 cm, what is the focal length of its eyepiece?
cm
What is the overall length of the telescope when adjusted for a relaxed eye?
cm

Solutions

Expert Solution

Magnification M = -31

Focal length of objective f _o = 75 cm

Focal length of eye piece f _e = ?

We know M = f _o / f _e

From this f _e = f _o / M

= -2.419 cm

(b). The overall length of the telescope when adjusted for a relaxed eye L = f _o + f _e

= 77.41 cm

A certain microscope consists of an objective lens, (Lens 1), and a tube lens (Lens 2). The object is placed at the front focal plane of the objective lens and the image is at the back focal plane of the tube lens. The tube lens has a focal length of 200mm. The objective is labeled 20X, which means that the magnification will be 20 when used with this particular tube lens. The working distance (the distance from the object to...
