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.arrow_forward

Its circular mirror will be 30 m in diameter. In December 2028, Mars will be at its closest approach to Earth (this happens every three years). An astronomer has predicted that, when finished, the telescope will be able to resolve objects that are approximately 2.0 km across on Mars assuming perfect viewing conditions. Approximately how far away is Mars from the Earth when this happens? The dominate wavelengths of visible light coming from Mars are in the range of 500 nm to 700 nm.arrow_forward

Part (b) What angle (in degrees) is subtended by a 25,000 km diameter sunspot? Assume the sun is 1.50 × 108 km away. Part (c) What is the image angular size (in degrees) in this telescope?arrow_forwardA 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. Calculate the required focal length of the eyepiece.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).
