Suppose a 200-mm focal length telephoto lens is being used to photograph mountains 12.5 km away.
(a) What is image distance, in meters, for this lens?
(b) What is the image height, in centimeters, of a 1050-m high cliff on one of the mountains?
(Problem 5.7 of Textbook): What size telescope (diameter of aperture) is required to resolve the
components of a double star whose linear separation is 100 million km and whose distance from
the earth is 10 light years? (Take 1
500 nm and one light year equals 9.5 trillion km).
What is the minimum focal length of objective lens (fo) of the telescope so that human eyes can
resolve the components of this double star using this telescope? (Assume that aperture diameter
of human eye is 4mm and focal length of eyepiece is fe = 2cm).
A lens forms an inverted, double-sized image of an object placed 6 cm away. Calculate the focal length of the lens.(Give your answer in centimeters but don't include the units.)
