Chapter 26, Problem 38PE
Construct Your Own Problem
Consider a telescope of the type used by Galileo, having a convex objective and a concave eyepiece as Illustrated in Figure 26.23(a). Construct a problem in which you calculate the location and size of the image produced. Among the things to be considered are the focal lengths of the lenses and their relative placements as well as the size and location of the object. Verity that the angular magnification is greater than one. That is, the angle subtended at the eye by the image is greater than the angle subtended by the object.

A small telescope has a concave mirror with a 2.6 m radius of curvature for its objective. Its eyepiece is a 3.4 cm focal length lens.
Part (a) What is the telescope’s angular magnification?
Part (b) What angle (in degrees) is subtended by a 25,000 km diameter sunspot? Assume the sun is 1.50 × 108 km away.
