"A telescope resolves whereas a microscope magnifies." Justify this statement ?

उत्तर

Through telescope, we see the objects that are at infinite distance from the observer. These objects are already far apart from each other, but due to infinite distance from the observer, they do not appear distinctly. Thus, the telescope resolves these distant objects so that we can see them distinctly. On the other hand, a microscope magnifies extremely small objects. Thus, one can say that "a telescope resolves whereas a microscope magnifies".

  2. 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?
  3. What is the height of the final image of the tower if it is formed at 25 cm?

State the condition under which a large magnification can be achieved in an astronomical telescope.


Describe briefly the two main limitations and explain how far these can be minimized in a reflecting telescope ?


Define magnifying power of a telescope. Write its expression.


How is the working of a telescope different from that of a microscope?


An astronomical telescope uses two lenses of powers 10 dioptres and 1 dioptre. If the final image of a distant object is formed at infinity, calculate the length of the telescope


A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 140 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5.0 cm. Find the magnifying power of the telescope for viewing distant objects when

  1. the telescope is in normal adjustment,
  2. the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision.

Draw a ray diagram of astronomical telescope for the final image formed at infinity.


For a telescope, the object's visual angle is measured from its own position, which is effectively:


In the working idea of a telescope's magnifying power, the beam of incident rays is inclined at an angle \[\alpha\] with the principal axis, while the emergent beam is inclined at a greater angle \[\beta\]. This produces:
