The figure shows a simple arrangement which works as an astronomical telescope. The arrangement consists of two convex lenses placed coaxially. The lens which faces a distant object is called the objective. It has a large aperture and a large focal length also. The second lens is closed to the observers eyes. It is called the eyepiece. It has a smaller aperture as compared to the objective. Its focal length is also small in comparison to objective. The objective forms a real image of a distant object. This image acts as the object for the eyepiece. The eye-piece may form its image at a large distance (oo) or at least distance of distinct vision (D = 25 cm). The magnifying power of the telescope is the ratio (-beta)/(alpha) . Maximum angular magnification is produced when the final image is at the least distance of distinct vision. A telescope has an objective of focal length 50 cm and an eye-piece of focal length 5 cm. The least distance of distinct vision is 25 cm. The telescope is adjusted for distinct vision and it is focussed on an object 200 cm away. The length of the telescope is

de Broglie proposed dual nature for electron by putting his famous equation lambda = (h)/(mv). Later on, Heisenberg proposed uncertainty principle as deltapDeltax ge (h)/(4pi). On the contrary, Particle nature of electron was established on the basis of photoelectric effect. When a photon strikes the metal surface it gives up its energy to the electron. Part of this energy (say W) is used by the electrons to escape from the metal and the remaining energy imparts kinetic energy (1//2 mv^(2)) to the ejected photoelectron. The potential applied on the surface to reduce the velocity of photoelectron to zero is known as stopping potential . When a beam of photons of a particular energy was incident on a surface of a particular pure metal having work function =(40 eV), some emitted photoelectrons had stopping potential equal to 22 V. some had 12V and rest had lower values. Calculate the wavelength of incident photons assuming that at least one photoelectron is ejected with maximum possible kinetic energy :

(Mention both the results in electron-volts) Given Planck's constant h=6.6 xx 10^(-34) J-sec , 1eV = 1.6 xx 10^(-19) J and velocity of light c= 3xx10^(8)m//sec

The limit of resolution of a microscope is the least distance between two point objects which can be seen clearly and distinctively with it. For a naked eye, limit of resolution is about 10^(-4) m or 0.1 mm. The limit of resolution for a microscope is of the order of lambda/2 , where lambda is wavelength of light used. For an optical microscope , using visible light, limit of resolution is "500 nm"/2 =250 mm. This is 400 times smaller than naked eye. So the useful magnification produced by it is 400. Smaller is the limit of resolution, greater is the magnification that can be achieved. By using shorter wavelengths , we can improve resolution. For examination of a microorganism, much higher limit of resolution is needed, the Wave nature of electron provides a means for probes of very small size organisms. An electron beam accelerated by a high potential difference possess a very short wavelength. In an electron microscope magnetic lenses are used to control the path of electrons. The image of object is obtained on a fluorescent screen or on a photographic plate. The electron microscope with its high magnifying power and resolving power , is one of the most indispensable and powerful tool for research in science , medicine and industry. For an electron beam accelerated through a high potential difference V, limit of resolution is proportional to
