Optics 6 Question 8
9. A planet is observed by an astronomical refracting telescope having an objective of focal length and an eyepiece of focal length
(1992, 2M)
(a) the distance between the objective and the eyepiece is
(b) the angular magnification of the planet is -800
(c) the image of the planet is inverted
(d) the objective is larger than the eyepiece

Solution:
- Key Idea In a YDSE, path difference between 2 rays, reaching at some common point
located at angular position ’ ’s shown in the figure below is
For small value of
So, path difference
For a bright fringe at same angular position ’
Hence, path difference is an integral multiple of wavelength of light used.
Here,
So, with light of wavelength
and with light of wavelength
Now, choosing different integral values for
and for
These values lie in given interval
