Concept explainers
The CIA wants your help identifying individual terrorists in a photo of a training camp taken from a spy satellite at 100-km altitude. You ask for details of the optical system used, but they’re classified. However, they do tell you that the optics are diffraction limited and can resolve facial features as small as 5 cm. Assuming a typical optical wavelength of 550 nm, what do you conclude about the size of the mirror or lens in the satellite camera?

- The primary mirror of the orbiting telescope has a diameter of 6.7 cm. being in orbit, this telescope avoids the degrading effects of atmospheric distortion on its resolution. Assuming an average light wavelength of 550 nm, what is the angle between two just-resolvable point light sources?arrow_forwardOften in optics scientists take advantage of effects that require very high intensity light. To get the desired effect a scientist uses a laser with power P = 0.0065 W to reach an intensity of I = 170 W/cm2 by focusing it through a lens of focal length f = 0.11 m. The beam has a radius of r = 0.0011m when it enters the lens.

(In other words, what radius does the beam have to have after passing through the lens in order to have the desired intensity?) Part (b) Give an expression for the tangent of the angle that the edge of the beam exits the lens with with respect to the normal to the lens surface, in terms of r and f? Part (c) Express the distance, D, between the lens's focal point and the illuminated object using tan(α) and rp.

What is the smallest diameter spot the eye can produce on the retina if the pupil diameter is 2.41 mm? Assume light with a wavelength of λ = 550 nm. (Note: The distance from the pupil to the retina is 25.4 mm. In addition, the space between the pupil and the retina is filled with a fluid whose index of refraction is n = 1.336.)Hint: The size of the spot is twice the distance from the main axis to the first minimum.arrow_forward
