Why does primary or objective lens of a refracting telescope should have a longer focal length?
The Thirty Meter Telescope is a new telescope proposed for the top of the volcano Maunakea that is opposed
by many native Hawaiians. Its circular mirror will be 30 m in diameter. In December 2028, Mars will be at its
closest approach to Earth (this happens every three years). An astronomer has predicted that, when finished,
the telescope will be able to resolve objects that are approximately 2.0 km across on Mars assuming perfect
viewing conditions. Approximately how far away is Mars from the Earth when this happens? The dominate
wavelengths of visible light coming from Mars are in the range of 500 nm to 700 nm.
A Keplerian telescope has an objective lens of diameter 12 cm and focal length +90 cm, and
an eyepiece of focal length +8 mm. It is used to observe Jupiter which has a true diameter of
140 000 km and a distance of 750 million km from Earth. Calculate the apparent angular diameter
of Jupiter as seen through the telescope; give your answer in degrees.

- People are often bothered when they discover that reflecting telescopes have a second mirror in the middle to bring the light out to an accessible focus where big instruments can be mounted. “Don’t you lose light?” people ask. Well, yes, you do, but there is no better alternative. You can estimate how much light is lost by such an arrangement. The primary mirror (the one at the bottom in Figure 6.6) of the Gemini North telescope is 8 m in diameter. The secondary mirror at the top is about 1 m in diameter. Use the formula for the area of a circle to estimate what fraction of the light is blocked by the secondary mirror. Figure 6.6 Focus Arrangements for Reflecting Telescopes. Reflecting telescopes have different options for where the light is brought to a focus. With prime focus, light is detected where it comes to a focus after reflecting from the primary mirror. With Newtonian focus, light is reflected by a small secondary mirror off to one side, where it can be detected (see also Figure 6.5). Most large professional telescopes have a Cassegrain focus in which light is reflected by the secondary mirror down through a hole in the primary mirror to an observing station below the telescope.arrow_forwardWhy are the largest visible-light telescopes in the world made with mirrors rather than lenses?arrow_forwardWhen astronomers discuss the apertures of their telescopes, they say bigger is better.
