Draw a ray diagram of astronomical telescope for the final image formed at infinity.

An angular magnification of is desired using an objective of focal length and an eye piece of focal length . How will you set up the compound microscope for the final image formed at least distance of distinct vision?

Draw a ray diagram of compound microscope for the final image formed at least distance of distinct vision?

Two waves having the intensities in the ratio produce interference. The ratio of maximum to minimum intensity is equal to

Cassegrain Telescope is a type of

The eyepiece of the microscope is bigger than its objective lens.

When an object is placed at a distance of From a convex mirror, the linear magnification produced is . Where should the object be placed to obtain a magnification of ?

What are the eyepieces of the microscope called _____?

Is a microscope eyepiece always 10x?

Is Cassegrain telescope or astronomical telescope are same.

A Cassegrain telescope uses two mirrors as shown in the figure. Such a telescope is built with the mirrors apart. If the radius of curvature of the large mirror is and the small mirror is where will the final image of an object at infinity in be?

What is a cassegrain telescope?

Total magnification of compound microscope is while magnification for eye piece is . If final image is formed at near point which is taken then focal length of eye piece is

The focal length of magnifying glass is then magnifying power this instrument when image is formed at infinity is ( near point for normal eye)

An object is at distance from compound microscope of focal length and for objective and eye piece respectively. Magnifying power of microscope when image is formed at near point is

Why eyepiece of a telescope is of short focal length while objective is of large focal length ?

A small laboratory telescope has an objective lens of focal, length and an eye-piece of focal length . Then, separation between the objective and eye-piece is _____.

The focal length of an objective of a telescope is 3 meter and diameter 15 cm. Assuming for a normal eye, the diameter of the pupil is 3 mm for its complete use, the focal length of eye piece must be

A telescope that uses two converging lenses is called refracting telescope.
