Concept explainers

Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging Lens

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

Plano-Convex Lens

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

Lateral Magnification

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…

Chapter 24, Problem 73GP

& The Moon**#x2019;s Mare Imbrium The outermost ring of mountains surrounding the Mare Imbrium on the Moon has a diameter of 1300 km. What diameter objective lens telescope would allow an astronomer to see the ring of mountains as a distinct feature of the Moon’s landscape? What assumptions did you make? The average center-to-center distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,403 km, which is about 30 times the diameter of the Earth. The Moon has a diameter of 3474 km.
