The angular resolution of a 10cm diameter telescope at a wavelength of $5000 A^0$ is of the order of -

  1. $10^{4} rad$

  2. $10^{-6} rad$

  3. $10^{6} rad$

  4. $10^{2} rad$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given parameters are,

Wavelength $\lambda = 5000\ A^{\circ}$

 = $5000 \times 10^{-10}$

Diameter of telescope, $D = 10 cm = 0.1 m$

Now, Angular resolution (d\theta) formula for telescope is,

$d\theta =\dfrac{1.22 \lambda}{D}\\$

Substituting the values, we get

$\Rightarrow d\theta = \dfrac{1.22 \times 5000 \times 10^{-10}}{0.1}= 6.1 \times 10^{-6}\\$

Clearly it is having significance order of $10^{-6}$.

Thus option B is correct.

An observer looks at a distant tree of height $10$ m with a telescope magnifying power of $20$. To the observer, the top appears

The focal length of eye lens and object lens of a telescope is 4 mm and 4 cm respectively. If final image of an far object is at $\infty $. Then the magnifying power and length of the tube are :

  1. 10, 4.4 cm

  2. 4, 44 cm

  3. 44,10 cm

  4. 10, 44 cm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Answer is A.

Magnification is the amount that a telescope enlarges its subject. Its equal to the telescopes focal length divided by the eyepieces focal length. As a rule of thumb, a telescopes maximum useful magnification is 50 times its aperture in inches (or twice its aperture in millimeters). 
That is, M = fo / fe
In this case, the focal length of eye lens and object lens of a telescope is 4 mm = 0.4 cm and 4 cm respectively.
So, Magnification M = fo / fe = 4 / 0.4 = 10.
Focal length of the eyepiece is the distance from the center of the eyepiece lens to the point at which light passing through the lens is brought to a focus.
Focal length of the objective is the distance from the center of the objective lens (or mirror) to the point at which incoming light is brought to a focus.
The length of the tube is given as sum of the focal lengths of the eye lens and the object lens.
So, Length of the tube  = fo + fe = 4 + 0.4 = 4.4 cm.
Hence, the magnifying power and length of the tube are: 10, 4.4 cm.

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A telescope is an optical instrument designed to make distant objects like stars, planets, appear nearer, containing an arrangement of lenses, or of curved mirrors and lenses, by which rays of light are collected and focused and the resulting image magnified.

A telescope gives an .............. (inverted / erect) and ........ (enlarged/diminished) image of a distant object. Choose the correct alternative.

  1. Inverted, diminished

  2. Inverted, enlarged

  3. Erect, diminished

  4. Erect, enlarged


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Telescopes are  used to obtain an enlarged image of a distant object, it uses a curved lens or mirror to collect light from distant objects and to focus that light on an image and creates a brighter and sharper image. The focused image formed by the objective lens of a telescope is magnified by a smaller second lens called an eyepiece.

State whether true or false :

Both the telescope and compound microscope make use of two lenses-one concave and one convex.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Both the telescope and compound microscope make use of two lenses–one concave and one convex. [a] false

Both the lenses are convex lenses

The main difference between telescope and microscope is that microscopes are used to magnify small objects that are at a short distance from the viewer whereas telescopes are used to magnify large objects that are at a large distance from the viewer. In refracting telescopes, there are typically two convex lenses. One lens acts as the objective lens: this lens gathers light from faraway objects and forms a real, inverted image of the object at its focal point. A second lens, called the eyepiece

Microscopes are used to look at magnified images of small objects. A simple microscope consists of a single convex lens. The lens is held close to the object so that the object is between the lens and its focal point.

A simple telescope has

  1. A convex lens and a concave lens

  2. A concave mirror and a convex lens

  3. Two convex lenses

  4. Two concave lenses


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A simple telescope consist of two convex lenses 

1. objective lens - large focal length
2. eyepiece - small focal length
$\therefore$ Option C is correct.

  3. $2\, \quad\, 3\, \quad\, 4\, \quad\, 1$

  4. $2\, \quad\, 3\, \quad\, 1\, \quad\, 4$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Microscope - is used to see small object which cannot be seen by naked eye

telescope - is used to see object which are situated at a long distance eg. sun, moon , planet
periscope -The uses of a periscope include observation around barriers and at times when viewing a location directly would be dangerous. Periscopes are typically used in submarines to see above the water.
Camera - is used to capture photos of objects.

Thus matching will be
A - 2 , B - 3   C - 1  and  D - 4

 hence Option D is correct.

The focal length of eye lens and object lens of a telescope is 4 mm and 4 cm respectively. If final image of an far object is at $\displaystyle \infty $. Then the magnifying power and length of the tube are:

  1. 10, 4.4 cm

  2. 4, 44 cm

  3. 44, 10 cm

  4. 10, 44 cm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Magnification is the amount that a telescope enlarges its subject. Its equal to the telescopes focal length divided by the eyepieces focal length. As a rule of thumb, a telescopes maximum useful magnification is 50 times its aperture in inches (or twice its aperture in millimeters). 
That is, $M = fo / fe$
In this case, the focal length of eye lens and object lens of a telescope is 4 mm = 0.4 cm and 4 cm respectively.
So, Magnification $M = fo / fe = 4 / 0.4 = 10.$
Focal length of the eyepiece is the distance from the center of the eyepiece lens to the point at which light passing through the lens is brought to a focus.
Focal length of the objective is the distance from the center of the objective lens (or mirror) to the point at which incoming light is brought to a focus.
The length of the tube is given as sum of the focal lengths of the eye lens and the object lens.
So, Length of the tube $ = fo + fe = 4 + 0.4 = 4.4 cm.$
Hence, the magnifying power and length of the tube are: 10, 4.4 cm.

An astronomical telescope has an eyepiece of focal length $5 cm$. If magnification produced is $14$ in normal adjustment, then what is the length of telescope?

  1. $25 cm$

  2. $75 cm$

  3. $50 cm$

  4. $100 cm$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\displaystyle m = \frac {f _o}{f _e}$ or $\displaystyle 14 = \frac {f _o}{5} \Rightarrow f _o = 70 cm$

$\displaystyle \therefore L=f _o + f _e = 5 + 70 = 75 cm$

Why is it advised to use telescope in a clear sky?

  1. Less interference between telescope and object.

  2. To get better quality of image

  3. To reduce the lateral shift in images caused by the environment

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In a clear sky, images formed by telescope are much sharper because of the following reasons:

1. Atmospheric interference is reduced significantly reduced and only the required object is projected.
2. Since rays don't change much speed on a clear day, image is distortionless and quality is improved.
3. On a clear sky, lateral displacement of object is either negligible or don't change much in small time intervals and this helps in studying the bodies well.

A telescope:

  1. converges light

  2. diverges light

  3. reflects light

  4. refracts light


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Lens nearer to eye behaves as diverging lens and forms a virtual image.
Hence, overall effect is diverging.

A planet is observed by an astronomical reflecting telescope having an objective of focal length 16 m and an eye - piece of focal length 2 cm.

  1. the distance between the objective and the eye - piece is 16.02 m.

  2. the angular magnification of the planet is 800.

  3. the image of planet is erect.

  4. the objective is larger than eye - piece.


Correct Option: A,B,D
Explanation:

Length of astronomical reflecting= distance between the objective and the eye - piece =L, 

$f _o=16m$ and $f _e=2cm=0.02m$
$L=f _o+f _e=16+0.02m=16.02m$
Angular magnification $m=\dfrac{f _o}{f _e}=\dfrac{16}{0.02}=800$. 
In astronomical reflecting telescope, the image formed is inverted.
The objective is always larger than eye - piece.

The anguThe angular resolution of 10cm diameter telescope at a wavelength of $5000nm$ is of order of the

  1. $ 10^{4}$ rad

  2. $ 10^{-4}$ rad

  3. $ 10^{-6}$ rad

  4. $ 10^{6}$ rad


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given that the Diameter of telescope is $D=10cm=0.1m$ and the wavelength $\lambda =5000nm$

Angular resolution $d\theta =\frac{1.22 \lambda}{D},$
$\Rightarrow d\theta = \frac{1.22 \times 5000 \times 10^{-9}}{0.1}=0.61 \times 10^{-6},$
Therefore it is in the order of $10^{-6},$
So the correct option is $C.$

The optical length of an astronomical telescope with magnifying power of 10, for normal vision is 44cm. What is focal length of the objective?

  1. 40cm

  2. 22cm

  3. 10cm

  4. 4cm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Length of telescope $L = f _o + f _e$
$\therefore$ $f _o + f _e  = 44$
We get $f _e = 44 - f _o$
Magnification of astronomical telescope for normal vision $|M| = \dfrac{f _o}{f _e}$
OR $10 = \dfrac{f _o}{44 - f _o}$
OR $440 - 10 f _o = f _o$

$\implies$ $f _o = \dfrac{440}{11} =40$ cm

The final image formed by an astronomical telescope is:

  1. real and erect.

  2. virtual and erect.
