प्रश्न
Draw a labeled ray diagram of a reflecting telescope. Mention its two advantages over the refracting telescope.

उत्तर
Reflecting Telescope,

Its two advantages over Refracting telescope:
1. It reduces the spherical aberration and forms a clear focused image.
2. It doesn’t require a lens of very large aperture as refracting type requires that cannot be manufactured easily.

- A giant refracting telescope at an observatory has an objective lens of focal length 15 m. If an eyepiece of focal length 1.0 cm is used, what is 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 3.48 × 106 m, and the radius of lunar orbit is 3.8 × 108 m.
- For the telescope is in normal adjustment (i.e., when the final image is at infinity)? what is the separation between the objective lens and the eyepiece?
- If this telescope is used to view a 100 m tall tower 3 km away, what is the height of the image of the tower formed by the objective lens?

Draw a ray diagram depicting the formation of the image by an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment.
"A telescope resolves whereas a microscope magnifies." Justify this statement ?
The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece of a microscope are 1.25 cm and 5 cm respectively. Find the position of the object relative to the objective in order to obtain an angular magnification of 30 in normal adjustment.
An astronomical telescope is to be designed to have a magnifying power of 50 in normal adjustment. If the length of the tube is 102 cm, find the powers of the objective and the eyepiece.
Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
| 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. |
- Why the image formed at infinity is often considered most suitable for viewing. Explain
- In modern microscopes, multicomponent lenses are used for both the objective and the eyepiece. Why?
- Write two points of difference between a compound microscope and an astronomical telescope
OR
Write two distinct advantages of a reflecting type telescope over a refracting type telescope.
With the help of a ray diagram explain the working of a reflecting telescope.
In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment, a straight black line of length L is drawn on the objective lens. The eyepiece forms a real image of this line whose length is 𝑙. What is the angular magnification of the telescope?
Assertion: An astronomical telescope has an objective lens having large focal length.
Reason: Magnifying power of an astronomical telescope varies directly with focal length of the objective lens.
