Responda
  • Magnification
  • Direction
  • Orientation
  • Nature
  • Shape
  • Curvature

Questão 8

Questão
True or False - The image shows The Lens Formula
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 9

Questão
True or False - Converging lenses must have positive focal lengths, and diverging lenses must have negative focal lengths for the formula to work.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 10

Questão

Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão
True or False - this diagram shows an Astronomical Telescope in normal adjustment
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 12

Questão
The units for the Small Angle Approximation are:
Responda
  • angle = radians height = centimetres distance = meters
  • angle = radians height = metres distance = parsecs
  • angle = radians height = metres distance = metres
  • angle = degrees height = metres distance = metres

Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 14

Questão
Select features which define a reflecting telescope
Responda
  • 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

Questão 15

Questão
What are the differences and similarities between reflecting telescopes and Cassegrain Telescopes?
Responda
  • 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

Questão 16

Questão
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
Responda
  • True
  • False
