With the help of a ray diagram explain the working of a reflecting telescope.

उत्तर

Parallel light beams from an infinite distance are incident on two concave objective mirrors at first. They are incident on a secondary convex mirror after reflection. At F, a virtual image is produced. The rays meet at a point after reflection by the convex mirrors to generate a true image, which is perceived through the eyepiece.

Draw a schematic ray diagram of a reflecting telescope showing how rays coming from a distant object are received at the eyepiece.


  1. 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?
  2. 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 small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 150 cm and an eye piece of focal length 5 cm. If this telescope is used to view a 100 m high tower 3 km away, find the height of the final image when it is formed 25 cm away from the eye piece.


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


The eyepiece of an astronomical telescope has a focal length of 10 cm. The telescope is focussed for normal vision of distant objects when the tube length is 1.0. m. Find the focal length of the objective and the magnifying power of the telescope.


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


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.
  1. Why the image formed at infinity is often considered most suitable for viewing. Explain
  2. In modern microscopes, multicomponent lenses are used for both the objective and the eyepiece. Why?
  3. 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.

Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.

There are two types of optical instruments: Microscopes and Telescopes. Microscopes are used to magnify very tiny objects whereas telescopes are used to study distant objects. Both of them deploy convex lenses. In his telescope, Newton used a large parabolic mirror to collect light from the stars and reduce aberrations.
  1. Rohit observed the launch of Chandrayan 3 with the help of an optical instrument. Name the instrument used by him.
  2. State any one advantage of a reflecting telescope over a refracting telescope.
  3. Which instrument is used to study the structure of a virus?
  4. What is the ability of an optical instrument to form enlarged images called?
  5. What is the difference between a compound microscope and an astronomical telescope (refracting type), as far as their lenses are concerned?
