A) Step 1: Draw the diagram.
Step 2: Find the angular magnification.
Given,
Focal length of the objective lens,
fo=15 m=1500 cm
Focal length of the eyepiece,
fe=1.0 cm
Angular magnification,
m=tanβtanα=fofe=15001=1500
Final Answer:
m=1500.
B) Step 1: Draw the diagram.
Step 2:Find the diameter of the image of the moon.
Given:
Diameter of the moon,
l1=3.48×106 m
Radius of the lunar orbit,
r1=3.8×108 m
If 𝑑 is the diameter of the image, then the angle subtended by diameter of moon,
θ1=l1r1
θ1=3.48×1063.8×108
and the angle subtended by image,
θ2=l2r2
If focal length of objective lens,
fo=15 m
θ2=df0=d15
Step 3: Find the diameter of the image of the moon.
Then,
Angle subtended by the diameter of the moon
(θ1) is equal to the angle subtended by the image
(θ2),
θ1=θ2
Therefore,
d15=3.48×1063.8×108=3.48×15×10−23.8=13.73×10−2m
d=13.73cm
Final Answer :
d=13.73 cm.
