A small telescope has a concave mirror with a 2.6 m radius of curvature for its objective. Its eyepiece is a 3.4 cm focal length lens.
Part (b) What angle (in degrees) is subtended by a 25,000 km diameter sunspot? Assume the sun is 1.50 × 108 km away.
Part (c) What is the image angular size (in degrees) in this telescope?
Light from a burning match propagates from left to right, first through a thin lens of focal length 4.9 cm, and then through another thin lens, with a 9.8-cm focal length. The lenses are fixed 31.5 cm apart. A real image of the flame is formed by the second lens at a distance of 20.1 cm from the lens.
Part (a) How far from the second lens, in centimeters, is its optical object located?
Part (b) How far is the burning match from the first lens, in centimeters?
