A large reflecting telescope has an objective mirror with a 14.0 m radius of curvature. What angular magnification in multiples does it produce when a 3.25 m focal length eyepiece is used? ✕

Respuesta :

Answer:

The magnification is  [tex]m = -2.15[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  radius is  [tex]r = 14.0 \ m[/tex]

    The  focal length eyepiece is  [tex]f_e = 3.25 \ m[/tex]

Generally the objective focal length is mathematically represented as

        [tex]f_o = \frac{r}{2}[/tex]

=>     [tex]f_o = \frac{14}{2}[/tex]

=>     [tex]f_o = 7 \ m[/tex]

The  magnification is mathematically represented as

      [tex]m = - \frac{f_o }{f_e }[/tex]

=>    [tex]m = - \frac{7 }{ 3.25 }[/tex]

=>   [tex]m = -2.15[/tex]
