Explain two advantages of a reflecting telescope over a refracting telescope.
- Spherical and chromatic abbreviation eliminated.
- Objective lenses are large and expensive in refracting telescope, where as reflecting telescope is economical.
Explain two advantages of a reflecting telescope over a refracting telescope.
Show using a proper diagram how unpolarised light can be linearly polarised by reflection from a transparent glass surface.
Draw a ray diagram to show image formation when the concave mirror produces a real, inverted and magnified image of the object.
Explain two advantages of a reflecting telescope over a refracting telescope.
In an optics experiment, with the position of the object fixed, a student varies the position of a convex lens and for each position, the screen is adjusted to get a clear image of the object. A graph between the object distance u and the image distance v, from the lens, is plotted using the same scale for the two axes. A straight line passing through the origin and making an angle of 45o with the x-axis meets the experimental curve at P. The coordinates of P will be
An experiment is performed to find the refractive index of glass using a travelling microscope. In this experiment distance are measured by
Two lenses of power -15D and +5D are in contact with each other. The focal length of the combination is
