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…

Use diagrams to describe how the following types of telescope collect light from a single point- source at infinity, and form a focused image in the focal plane: (i) refractor (ii) Newtonian reflector (iii) catadioptric telescope. A telescope with focal ratio f/10 and diameter D = 0.5 m has a CCD detector placed at its focal 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.
