Chapter 11, Problem 23SEQ

Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.

Counting Galaxies. Estimate how many galaxies are shown in the photo on page 1. Explain the method you used to arrive at your estimate. This picture shows about I/50,000,000 of the sky, so multiply your estimate by 50,000,000 to obtain an estimate of how many galaxies fill the entire sky.

15 cm Two lenses lie 70 cm apart. The focal lengths are f₁ = 20 cm for lens 1 (converging), and f₂ = -51 cm for lens 2 (diverging). A 15 cm tall object sits 45 cm in front of lens 1. Note: the 50 and 100 cm markings on the line are not the positions of the lenses! a) First, draw the positions of the two lenses. Then draw a ray diagram with all the primary rays. Include the location of image 1 formed by lens 1 and the final image formed by lens 2. (4 points) 0 cm 50 cm 100 cm 150 cm b) For each of image 1 and the final image: are they real or virtual, upright or inverted (relative to the original object)? (1 point) c) Calculate the distance of the final image from the object. (2 points) d) Find the magnification and size in cm of the final image. (2 points) e) Do your calculations in parts c) and d) match your ray diagrams in part a)? (1 point)
