Question

For the IGOR telescope referenced in the notes, assuming a focus range of 50,000 feet
and an acceptable blur diameter of 0.001 inch. Calculate the farthest object distance for which
the image is in acceptable focus. Express in feet.
If we stopped down the telescope to operate at F/40 rather than F/28.55, would the farthest object
distance for which the image is in acceptable focus increase or decrease? Explain why.

Two blue pixels on a TV are 0.000425 m apart. When looking at them through a human eye (diameter = 0.00433 m) with 450 nm light, what is the maximum distance at which they could be resolved? [?]m Hint: Solve for L! Remember, nano means 10-9.
Astronauts observing from a space station need a telescope with a resolving power of 0.4 arc second at a wavelength of 530 nm and a magnifying power of 300. Design a telescope to meet their needs.

Suppose you want a telescope that would allow you to see distinguishing features as small as 6.5 km on the Moon some 384,000 km away. Assume an average wavelength of 550 nm for the light received. What is the minimum diameter of the mirror (in centimeters) that you could use in the telescope?
These images show one of the large `VLT’ telescopes at the European Southern Observatory’s facility at Cerro Paranal, Chile. The place where the laser beam comes out (seen in the inset photo) is just out of sight off of the top edge of the large photo. Also note that if you look down the telescope tube (in the main photo), you can see the tube’s front-end structure. Imagine that this telescope had a flaw similar to the Hubble Space Telescope’s - its light-gathering element was shaped wrong. What problem would this cause for the telescope? Group of answer choices It would not be able to bring rays of light from a distant object to a focus. The imperfect shape would mean that it could focus rays of visible light, but not rays of light of any other wavelength. It wouldn’t be able to gather much light compared to the pupil of a human eye. It would mean that the telescope could only work if placed above the Earth’s atmosphere, like the Hubble telescope.
