Pregunta
What happens to light when it passes from air into a lens?
Respuesta
  • It slows down
  • It speeds up
  • It bends towards the normal
  • It bends away from the normal
  • It is reflected off

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
A convex lens is a type of converging lens
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
What are components of a ray diagram?
Respuesta
  • Principal Axis
  • The Singularity
  • The Focal Length
  • The Principal Focus
  • The Headline
  • The Lens Cap

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
True or False - This ray diagram shows an object between F and 2F
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
True or False - This image shows a ray diagram of an object at 2F
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
What are the 3 properties of an image on a ray diagram?
Respuesta
  • Magnification
  • Direction
  • Orientation
  • Nature
  • Shape
  • Curvature

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
True or False - The image shows The Lens Formula
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
True or False - Converging lenses must have positive focal lengths, and diverging lenses must have negative focal lengths for the formula to work.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
True or False - For the formula to work, distances to real images should be negative and those to virtual images should be positive
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
True or False - this diagram shows an Astronomical Telescope in normal adjustment
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
The units for the Small Angle Approximation are:
Respuesta
  • angle = radians height = centimetres distance = meters
  • angle = radians height = metres distance = parsecs
  • angle = radians height = metres distance = metres
  • angle = degrees height = metres distance = metres

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
The formula for Angular Magnificatio = fe/f0
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
Select features which define a reflecting telescope
Respuesta
  • They use a spherical mirror
  • They can suffer from spherical aberration
  • They feature a principal axis
  • They use the idea of angle of incidence = angle of refraction
  • A parabolic mirror is used
  • They suffer from chromatic aberration

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
What are the differences and similarities between reflecting telescopes and Cassegrain Telescopes?
Respuesta
  • They both use elliptical mirrors
  • They both suffer from spherical aberration
  • A reflecting telescope has only one mirror, while a cassegrain telescope has two - a primary mirror and a secondary mirror
  • Both mirrors have holes in them

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
A 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
Respuesta
  • True
  • False
