Ray Optics

Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging Lens

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

Plano-Convex Lens

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

Lateral Magnification

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…

Textbook Question

Chapter 27, Problem 13OQ

Why is it advantageous to use a large-diameter objective lens in a telescope? (a) It diffracts the light more effectively than smaller-diameter objective lenses. (b) It increases its magnification. (c) It enables you to see more objects in the field of view. (d) It reflects unwanted wavelengths. (e) It increases its resolution.

Students have asked these similar questions

If the eyepiece of a telescope is replaced with an eyepiece with a focal length twice as long, the magnifying power is a. four times greater. b. two times greater. c. four times less. d. two times less.

What was the major problem with the Hubble Space Telescope when it was first launched unto orbit? a. It's antenna wouldn't open, so the data could not be sent back to earth b. It was in the wrong orbit, so it dipped down into the Earth's thicker atmosphere regularly c. It's spectroscope broke during the launch d. The mirror's shape was slightly wrong, so all the light did not come to a single focus

Unless otherwise stated, the lens-to-retina distance is 2.00 cm. A 7.5 X binocular produces an angular magnification of -7.50, acting like a telescope. (Mirrors are used to make the image upright.) If the binoculars have objective lenses with a 75.0 cm focal length, what is the focal length of the eyepiece lenses?
