Question 8
Question
True or False - The image shows The Lens Formula
Question 9
Question
True or False - Converging lenses must have positive focal lengths, and diverging lenses must have negative focal lengths for the formula to work.
Question 10
Question
True or False - For the formula to work, distances to real images should be negative and those to virtual images should be positive

Question 12
Question
The units for the Small Angle Approximation are:
Answer
-
angle = radians
height = centimetres
distance = meters
-
angle = radians
height = metres
distance = parsecs
-
angle = radians
height = metres
distance = metres
-
angle = degrees
height = metres
distance = metres
Question 13
Question
The formula for Angular Magnificatio = fe/f0
Question 14
Question
Select features which define a reflecting telescope
Answer
-
They use a spherical mirror
-
They can suffer from spherical aberration
-
They feature a principal axis
-
They use the idea of angle of incidence = angle of refraction
-
A parabolic mirror is used
-
They suffer from chromatic aberration
Question 15
Question
What are the differences and similarities between reflecting telescopes and Cassegrain Telescopes?
Answer
-
They both use elliptical mirrors
-
They both suffer from spherical aberration
-
A reflecting telescope has only one mirror, while a cassegrain telescope has two - a primary mirror and a secondary mirror
-
Both mirrors have holes in them
Question 16
Question
A Cassegrain reflector uses a secondary mirror to direct light rays reflected by the primary mirror through a hole in the primary mirror towards the observer
