plane. The CCD chip has dimensions 3 × 3 cm2
. Determine the size of the field of view that can
be imaged on the CCD detector in units of arcminutes × arcminutes, and state whether or not an
image of the full moon can be captured. Assume the angular diameter of the full moon is 30
arcminutes.

A Kepler telescope has an objective lens of focal length 120 cm. It is used to observe a star
cluster of true angular diameter 4 arcmin (where 60 arcmin = 1 degree); and it is desired that the
apparent angular diameter of the star cluster when viewed through the telescope is 10 degrees.

- Why is it advantageous to use a large-diameter objective lens in a telescope? (a) It diffracts the light more effectively than smaller-diameter objective lenses. (b) It increases its magnification. (c) It enables you to see more objects in the field of view. (d) It reflects unwanted wavelengths. (e) It increases its resolution.arrow_forwardWhat is the magnification of a magnifying lens with a focal length of 10 cm if it is held 3.0 cm from the eye and the object is 12 cm from the eye?arrow_forwardA large reflecting telescope has an objective mirror with a 10.0-rn radius of curvature.

If the eyepiece of the telescope has a focal length of 1.5 cm and the objective has a focal length of 3 meters, how far away are the stars from the observer?arrow_forwardThe primary optical element of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is 3.2 m in diameter and has a focal length of 62 m. (Treat it as a simple, single lens for this homework) The telescope is aimed at Jupiter and the collected light is focused onto a sensitive Charge Coupled Device (CCD) detector, similar to what is in a digital camera. Each pixel in the detector is a 21 μm x 21 μm square, and the full CCD is 4096 x 4096 pixels. Thus the CCD is about one square inch in size. The HST is in orbit very close to the Earth (compared to other distances in the Solar system).
