Practice question

**Astronomical telescope** in normal adjustment M = -f_o/f_e, f_o objective focal length (m), f_e eyepiece focal length, length L = f_o+f_e, final image at infinity, angular magnification ratio of angles subtended by image and object. For f_o=100 cm, f_e=5 cm, M=-20, inverted, used for celestial observation. Snell’s law: n₁ sin i = n₂ sin r . Air ( n₁ = 1 ), glass ( n₂ = 1.5 ), i = 45° . 1 × sin 45° = 1.5 × sin r . sin 45° = 0.707 ⇒ 0.707 = 1.5 sin r ⇒ sin r = (0.707/1.5) ≈ 0.471 . r = sin⁻¹(0.471) ≈ 28.1°
