Which of the following statements are true? Choose all that apply. O If light from a star passes through an exoplanet's atmosphere, we can look at the absorption spectra to determine what elements & compounds are in the atmosphere. O For a telescope, decreasing fo will increase the actual size of the image seen by the person looking through the telescope. O In crown glass, the index of refraction for blue light is 1.524 and for green light it is 1.519. Thus in crown glass, blue light is slower than green light. O If unpolarized light is incident on a polarizer, 0% will pass through. O The glasses for farsighted people create virtual images for them to see. O The smaller the diameter of an optic is, the larger the minimum angle it can discern is.
