Question
A Galilean telescope (see 87) is designed so that the final image is at the near point, which is (rather than at infinity). The focal length of the objective is and the focal length of the eyepiece is (a) If the object distance is where is the image of the objective? (b) What is the object distance for the eyepiece so that the final image is at the near point? (c) How far apart are the lenses? (d) If the object height is what is the height of the final image? What is the angular magnification?
Solution
The first step in solving 32 problem number 88 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A Galilean telescope (see 87) is designed so that the final image is at the near point, which is (rather than at infinity). The focal length of the objective is and the focal length of the eyepiece is (a) If the object distance is where is the image of the objective? (b) What is the object distance for the eyepiece so that the final image is at the near point? (c) How far apart are the lenses? (d) If the object height is what is the height of the final image? What is the angular magnification?
From the textbook chapter OPTICAL IMAGES you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
