3. Radio telescopes are often much larger in diameter than optical (i.e. visible light) telescopes; some of the larger ones have diameters of 100 meters, while the largest optical telescopes are only about 10 meters in diameter. Assume that radio telescopes observe at wavelengths around 1 cm, which is about 20,000 times longer than the wavelengths of visible light. a) Explain why these large radio telescopes have much greater light-gathering power than large optical telescopes. Explain what quantities light-gathering power...

1. Canada owns a share of the Gemini telescopes – two telescopes, one in the Northern Hemisphere (Hawaii), the other in the Southern Hemisphere (Chile). Each Gemini telescope has an f/1.8 primary mirror which has a diameter of 8.1 metres. a) What is the ratio of the light-gathering power of a single Gemini telescope to that of my 135 mm refracting telescope at home? b) What is the focal length (m) of the primary mirror of a Gemini telescope? c)...

You have a camera that is sensitive in the visible light range. Your 3D printing facility has informed you that all inks are out except the transparent type. Your group mates try to paint or attach opaque black tape to the printed transparent ink, but only small, tiny pieces manage to stick and you cannot cover the box with such pieces - it is too much work. To make matters worse, your assignment to make a pinhole camera is due...
