If you build a telescope with a focal length of 1.3 m, what focal
length does the eyepiece need to give a magnification of 100 times?
The focal length from a simple lens is 100 micrometers and the detector is at 500 micrometers. What is the magnification of the lens?
A small light source located 1 mm in front of a 1-m2m2 opening illuminates a wall behind. If the wall is 1 mm behind the opening (2 mm from the light source), the illuminated area covers 4 m2m2. How many square meters are illuminated if the wall is 3 mm from the light source? 5 mm? 10 mm?

- Large telescopes often have small fields of view, i.e. it can only see a very small corner of the sky. For example, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera has a field of view that is roughly square and about 0.055 degree on a side.

For a science project on solar power, a student uses a 24-cmcm-diameter converging mirror with a focal length of 51 cmcm to focus sunlight onto an object. This casts an image of the sun on the object. For the most intense heat, the image of the sun should be in focus. What is the diameter of the image? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardAn object placed 10 cm from the lens projects a real image 52 cm behind the lens.
