Experiment 11: Telescope
Typical results:
Answers to questions: 1. The image is inverted. 2. It is a virtual image.
Further study, Image Formed by the Objective Lens: The objective lens forms a real, upright image;
to see it, hold a sheet of paper at distance d
i1
from the objective. When a pencil is placed at this location, it’s vir-
tual image, viewed through the eyepiece lens, coincides with the virtual image of the grid pattern viewed through
both lenses.
Further study, Object at Infinity: When adjusted for a distant object, the distance between the lenses is
equal to the sum of the focal lengths.
