Suppose a 200-mm focal length telephoto lens is being used to photograph mountains 12.5 km away.
(a) What is image distance, in meters, for this lens?
(b) What is the image height, in centimeters, of a 1050-m high cliff on one of the mountains?
Indicatewhether the following statements are characteristics of refracting (A) telescopes, or reflecting (E) telescopes. (Select ARefracting, E-Reflecting. If the first is A and the rest E, enterAEEEE).A) Incoming light passes through glass.B) Most commonly used by professional astronomers today.C) The Hubble Space Telescope.D) Galileo’s telescopes.E) World’s largest telescopes.F) The world’s largest is 1-meter in diameter
The Thirty Meter Telescope is a new telescope proposed for the top of the volcano Maunakea that is opposed
by many native Hawaiians. Its circular mirror will be 30 m in diameter. In December 2028, Mars will be at its
closest approach to Earth (this happens every three years). An astronomer has predicted that, when finished,
the telescope will be able to resolve objects that are approximately 2.0 km across on Mars assuming perfect
viewing conditions. Approximately how far away is Mars from the Earth when this happens? The dominate
wavelengths of visible light coming from Mars are in the range of 500 nm to 700 nm.
