Astronomers often take photographs with the objec- tive lens or mirror of a telescope alone, without an eyepiece. (a) Show that the image size h' for a telescope used in this manner is given by h' fh/(f- p), where h is the object size, f is the objective focal length, and p is the object distance. (b) Simplify the expression in part (a) if the object distance is much greater than the objective focal length. (c) The "wing- span" of the International Space Station is 108.6 m, the overall width of its solar panel configuration. When it is orbiting at an altitude of 407 km, find the width of the image formed by a telescope objective of focal length 4.00 m.

The distance between the lenses in a compound microscope is 18 cm.The focal length of the objective is 1.5 cm. If the microscope is to providean angular magnification of -83 when used by a person with a normalnear point (25 cm from the eye), what must be the focal length of theeyepiece?
A simple refracting telescope with an objective lens with focal length 2.00m and and eye piece of with focal length of 2.0 cm is used to view Mars when it is 6 x 107km from the Earth. For the purposes of this question assume the unaided human eye can resolve objects 0.002 radians apart, what feature size can be seen on Mars with telescope? For the purpose of his problem assume that the diameter of the telescope is sufficiently large that diffraction does not play a role. o 2400 km o 1200 km o 3600 km o 120 km
An individual is nearsighted; his near point is 17.0 cm and his far point is 49.0 cm. (a) What lens power is needed to correct his nearsightedness? diopters(b) When the lenses are in use, what is this person's near point?
When the muscles connected to the crystalline lens relax, the focal length is 9.0000 cm. With this focal length, how close must an object be to form sharply focused images on the retina? (Note: this distance is called the near point of vision.)
A compound microscope is made from an objective lens of focal length fo = 8 mm, andan eyepiece of fe = 12 mm. The objective lens is moved close to the object so that anintermediate image is formed 20 cm above the objective lens; then the eyepiece is set atits own focal length above the intermediate image, forming a virtual image at infinity forthe user’s eye. If the object is 0.15 mm in diameter, calculate the following, taking care todefine symbols used:i) The required distance of the objective lens above the object.ii) The diameter of the intermediate image.iii) The angular size of the image to the user’s eye.iv) The system angular magnification, defined as the angular size in (iii) divided by theangle subtended by the object to the naked eye from a distance of 25 cm.
People who do very detailed work close up, such as jewellers, often can see objects clearly at much closer distance than the normal 25 cm.

Two lenses (f1=100 mm, f2=-150 mm) are used to form an image of a candle on an observation screen. The distance between the lenses is kept small and is measured to be 3.5 cm. The distance of the candle from the center of both lenses is measured to be 82 cm. The distance of the image from the center of both lenses is measured to be 22 cm.
