Study Notes
Focal Length of Telescope
- An astronomical telescope's eyepiece has a 20 cm focal length and a 10x magnification
- The focal length of the telescope is 200 cm
Compound Microscope Magnification
- A compound microscope has a 95x magnification
- The objective lens is 1/38 cm from the target, with a ½ cm focal length
- The eyepiece magnification is 100x
Periscope Function
- A periscope uses multiple mirrors to reflect and view objects above the observer's line of sight
Simple Microscope Adjustment
- Simple microscope angular magnification is adjusted by altering the focal length of the lens
Pinhole Camera Image
- Moving the back wall of a pinhole camera further from the pinhole results in a smaller and fainter image
Electric Generator Component
- The rotor component of an electric generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy
Electric Generator vs. Electric Motor
- An electric generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, while an electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy
Mechanical Energy Input to Generator
- The mechanical energy input to an electric generator is usually in the form of mechanical energy
DC Motor Industrial Use
- DC motors are still used in industrial applications because they are simple in construction and provide fine speed control
