Chapter 30, Problem 29A
Maps of the moon are actually upside down. Why is this so?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Maps of moon is upside down
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Image taken by a telescope of an object is virtual and upside down.
Concept:
A map of moon is upright down, because when we look through the telescope, we actually see the image of image because image formed by an object of telescope is real and upside down, this image is an object for an eyepiece of telescope, eyepiece formed virtual, upright and enlarged image of real image of celestial object.
Conclusion:
Map of moon is upside down and virtual because image of moon is taken by the telescope.
