- EShape
- FCurvature
8True or False - The image shows The Lens Formula
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
9True or False - Converging lenses must have positive focal lengths, and diverging lenses must have negative focal lengths for the formula to work.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
10True or False - For the formula to work, distances to real images should be negative and those to virtual images should be positive
- ARichtig

13Select features which define a reflecting telescope
- AThey use a spherical mirror
- BThey can suffer from spherical aberration
- CThey feature a principal axis
- DThey use the idea of angle of incidence = angle of refraction
- EA parabolic mirror is used
- FThey suffer from chromatic aberration
14What are the differences and similarities between reflecting telescopes and Cassegrain Telescopes?
- AThey both use elliptical mirrors
- BThey both suffer from spherical aberration
- CA reflecting telescope has only one mirror, while a cassegrain telescope has two - a primary mirror and a secondary mirror
- DBoth mirrors have holes in them
15A Cassegrain reflector uses a secondary mirror to direct light rays reflected by the primary mirror through a hole in the primary mirror towards the observer
- ARichtig
- BFalsch

21In which two spectral classes are the presence of Hydrogen Balmer absorption lines prominent features?
- AA
- BG
- CM
- DB
- EF
- FK
- GO
22Describe how Hydrogen absorption lines are produced in the spectrum of a star:
Light from the star passes through the [blank_start]atmosphere[blank_end] of the star which contains [blank_start]hydrogen[blank_end] with electrons in [blank_start]n = 2[blank_end] state electrons in this state absorb certain energies and hence [blank_start]frequencies[blank_end] of light the light is re-emitted in all [blank_start]directions[blank_end], so that the [blank_start]intensity[blank_end] of these frequencies is [blank_start]reduced[blank_end] in any given direction, resulting in [blank_start]absorption lines[blank_end].- Aatmosphere
- Bhydrogen
- Cn = 2
- Dfrequencies
- Edirections
- Fintensity
- Greduced
- Habsorption lines
23Explain what is meant by light year and parsec.
- Alight year : distance travelled by light in one year
- Blight year : distance travelled by light in one AU
- CParsec : 10 AU
- Dparsec : distance to an object subtending 1 sec of arc to Earth’s orbit
