ray-optics-and-optical-instruments Question 43

Question: Q. 4. (i) A giant refracting telescope has an objective lens of focal length 15 m. If an eye piece of focal length 1.0 cm is used, what is the angular magnification of the telescope?

(ii) If this telescope is used to view the moon, what is the diameter of the image of the moon formed by the objective lens? The diameter of the moon is 3.48×106 m and the radius of lunar orbit is 3.8×108 m.

A [Delhi I, II, III 2015]

Detailed Answer :

(i) m=f0fe; ignoring -ve sign as it only shown that image is inverted.

fo=1500 cm fe=1 cm m=15001=1500

(ii) Angular size of the moon,

tanα=h0u0

Angular size of the moon’s image by objective lens is also, tanα=h1fo

Hence,

h0u0=h1f0 ho=3.48×106 m uo=3.8×108 m. fo=15 m 3.48×1063.8×108=h115

h1=3.48×1063.8×108×15 =13.7 cm

Answering Tip

  • Learn all the formulae of Telescope carefully. Do practice to solve the humericals by taking care of their sign convention.

Q. 5. (i) Draw a labelled ray diagram showing the formation of a final image by a compound microscope at the least distance of distinct vision.

(ii) The total magnification produced by a compound microscope is 20 . The magnification produced by the eye piece is 5 . The microscope is focussed on a certain object. The distance between the objective and eyepiece is observed to be 14 cm.

If the least distance of distinct vision is 20 cm, calculate the focal length of the objective lens and the eye piece.

Solution:

Ans. (i) Labelled ray diagram of a compound microscope for formation of image at the near point of the eye :

(ii) Given, m=20,me=5,D=20 cm

For eyepiece, me=Due

5=20ue

ue=4 cm 1fe=1ve1ue =120+14 1fe=1+520 1fe=420 fe=5 cm

Hence, focal length of eyepiece, fe=5 cm

m=mo×me mo=mme=205=4 vo=144=10 cm

For objective lens,

mo=v0uo 4=10uo(mo=4) uo=104=2.5 cm  Now, 1f0=1vo1u0 1f0=11012.5 1f0=110+1025 1f0=12 f0=2 cm

Hence, focal length of objective, f0=2.0 cm.
