A beam of white light enters a transparent material. Wavelengths for which the index of refraction is n are refracted at angle ฮธ2. Wavelengths for which the index of refraction is n+ฮดn, where ฮดn<<n , are refracted at angle ฮธ2+ฮดฮธ.

a). Show that the angular separation of the two wavelengths, in radians, is ฮดฮธ=-(ฮดnn)tanฮธ2

b). A beam of white light is incident on a piece of glass at 30.0ยฐ. Deep violet light is refracted 0.28ยฐ more than deep red light. The index of refraction for deep red light is known to be 1.552. What is the index of refraction for deep violet light?

A friend lends you the eyepiece of his microscope to use on your own microscope. He claims the spatial resolution of your microscope will be halved, since his eyepiece has the same diameter as yours but twice the magnification. Is his claim valid? Explain.

Yang can focus on objects 150cm away with a relaxed eye. With full accommodation, she can focus on objects 20cmaway. After her eyesight is corrected for distance vision, what will her near point be while wearing her glasses?

The Hubble Space Telescope has a mirror diameter of 2.4 m. Suppose the telescope is used to photograph stars near the center of our galaxy, 30,000 light years away, using red light with a wavelength of 650 nm.

a. Whatโ€™s the distance (in km) between two stars that are marginally resolved? The resolution of a reflecting telescope is calculated exactly the same as for a refracting telescope.

b. For comparison, what is this distance as a multiple of the distance of Jupiter from the sun?

The center of the galaxy is filled with low-density hydrogen gas that scatters light rays. An astronomer wants to take a picture of the center of the galaxy. Will the view be better using ultraviolet light, visible light, or infrared light? Explain.
