Use diagrams to describe how the following types of telescope collect light from a single point-
source at infinity, and form a focused image in the focal plane:
(i) refractor
(ii) Newtonian reflector
(iii) catadioptric telescope.
A telescope with focal ratio f/10 and diameter D = 0.5 m has a CCD detector placed at its focal
plane. The CCD chip has dimensions 3 × 3 cm2
. Determine the size of the field of view that can
be imaged on the CCD detector in units of arcminutes × arcminutes, and state whether or not an
image of the full moon can be captured. Assume the angular diameter of the full moon is 30
arcminutes.
= 5.00 cm, f = 10.0 cm, f = -5.00 cm, f
8. If you have lenses with the following focal lengths: f
-10.0 cm and f = 200. cm, then which pair of lenses would create the maximum magnification (a)
for a compound microscope, and (b) for a diffracting telescope. Explain.
And if only one lens was used for eyeglasses, then (c) which lenses would be used by a person with
hyperopia, (d) and used for a person with myopia? Explain.
The primary optical element of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is 3.2 m in diameter and has a focal length of 62 m. (Treat it as a simple, single lens for this homework) The telescope is aimed at Jupiter and the collected light is focused onto a sensitive Charge Coupled Device (CCD) detector, similar to what is in a digital camera. Each pixel in the detector is a 21 μm x 21 μm square, and the full CCD is 4096 x 4096 pixels. Thus the CCD is about one square inch in size. The HST is in orbit very close to the Earth (compared to other distances in the Solar system).
Size of Jupiter: 139,820 km in diameter
Distance to Jupiter: 778 million km
How many pixels in diameter is Jupiter's image on CCD?
