प्रश्न
A giant refracting telescope at an observatory has an objective lens of focal length 15 m. If an eyepiece lens of focal length 1.0 cm is used, find the angular magnification of the telescope. 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 3.42 × 106 m and the radius of the lunar orbit is 3.8 × 108 m.

उत्तर
Angular magnification = `- f_0/f_0 (1 +(f_e)/D) = - 1500/1 (1 +1/25) =-1560`
Negative sign indicates that the image is inverted.

Diameter of the image of the moon formed by the objective lens = d (say)
`tan alpha≈alpha = (\text (diameter of moon))/(\text { radius of the orbit}) =d/f_0`
`or ,(3.42 xx 10^6)/(3.8 xx 10^8) = d/15 => d =0.135 m`

| A number of optical devices and instruments have been designed and developed such as periscope, binoculars, microscopes and telescopes utilising the reflecting and refracting properties of mirrors, lenses and prisms. Most of them are in common use. Our knowledge about the formation of images by the mirrors and lenses is the basic requirement for understanding the working of these devices. |
