Textbook Question
Chapter 32.6, Problem 32.6GI
You're a biologist trying to resolve details of structures within a cell, but they look fuzzy even at the highest power of your microscope. Which of the following might help: (a) substituting an eyepiece with shorter focal length, as suggested by Equation 31.10; (b) putting a red filter over the white light source used to illuminate the microscope slide; or (c) putting a blue filter over the white light source?

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.
