Astronomical Physics Topic

The document describes the key parts and working principle of an astronomical telescope, which uses two convex lenses - an objective lens that forms a real, reduced image, and an eyepiece lens that magnifies this image. It explains that the objective lens should have a large aperture and focal length to view distant heavenly bodies, while the eyepiece has a smaller aperture and focal length. The distance between the lenses must equal the sum of their focal lengths for optimal viewing of the final magnified image.

This is to certify that Gurjeet Singh, student


of class XII- science, has completed the
project during the academy year 2022
towards partial fulfillment of credit for the
physics practical evaluation of CBSE board
2022, and submitted satisfactory report, as
compiled in the following pages, under my
supervision

Mrs.Arun jyoti
(physics teacher)
Acknowledgments
• The completion of any project is not
competed without thanking the people
behind the venture & this project is no
exception . I take this opportunity to express
my profound gratitude and deep regards to
my physics teacher Mrs.Arun jyoti for his
exemplary guidance. monitoring and
constant encouragement through the course
of this thesis. The blessing, help and
guidance given by his time to time shall carry
me a long way in the journey of life on which
I am about to embark.
What is an Astronomical
telescope?
An Astronomical Telescope is a
simpel device based on optical
refraction through spherical
lenses, that is used to view
heavenly bodies such as the
moon, stars and distant objects.
PARTS REQUIRED

TWO CONVEX LENSES ARE REQUIRED:


. Objective Lens: this lens is fitted at the front
side of the telescope. It should have a large
aperture (diameter) and a large focal length.
. Eyepiece: This lens is fitted at the back side of
the telescope. It should have a smaller
aperture (diameter) and focal length
compared to the objective lens.
Working principle of an
Astronomical telescope

As this telescope uses a lens as an objective, it


is called refracting telescope or refractor.
The objective lens forms a real , reduced image I
of the object. This image is the object for the
eyepiece lens, which form an enlarged, virtual
image of I. objects that are viewed with a
telescope are usually so far away from the
instrument that the first
image I is formed very nearly at the second focal point
of the objective lens. If the final image I formed by the
eyepiece is at infinity (for the most comfort viewing by
a normal eye), the first image must also be at the first
focal point of the eyepiece. The distance between
eyepiece and objective which is length of telescope, is
therefore the sum of the focal length of objective and
eyepiece. F1 + F2.
