- Question 1 Modern telescopes use mirrors rather than lenses for
all of these reasons EXCEPT a) light passing through lenses can be
absorbed or scattered. b) large lenses can be very heavy. c) large
lenses are more difficult to make. d) mirrors can be computer
controlled to improve resolution. e) reflecting telescopes arent
affected by the atmosphere as much.

affected by the atmosphere as much. Reflecting instruments like the
KECK telescopes can be made larger, and more capable, than
refractors.

- Question 4 Resolution is improved by using a) larger telescopes
& longer wavelengths. b) infrared light. c) larger telescopes
& shorter wavelengths. d) lower frequency light. e) visible
light.
- Slide 14
- Question 4 Resolution is improved by using a) larger telescopes
& longer wavelengths. b) infrared light. c) larger telescopes
& shorter wavelengths. d) lower frequency light. e) visible
light. Diffraction limits resolution; larger telescopes and
shorter- wave light produces sharper images.

- a) the quality of the telescopes optics. b) the transparency of
a telescopes lens. c) the sharpness of vision of your eyes. d) the
image quality due to air stability. e) the skys clarity &
absence of clouds. Seeing in astronomy is a measurement of Question
2

- Seeing in astronomy is a measurement of Question 2 Good Seeing
occurs when the atmosphere is clear and the air is still. Turbulent
air produces poor seeing, and fuzzier images. a) the quality of the
telescopes optics. b) the transparency of a telescopes lens. c) the
sharpness of vision of your eyes. d) the image quality due to air
stability. e) the skys clarity & absence of clouds. Point

- Question 8 Radio telescopes are useful because a) observations
can be made day & night. b) we can see objects that dont emit
visible light. c) radio waves are not blocked by interstellar dust.
d) they can be linked to form interferometers. e) All of the above
are true.

visible light. c) radio waves are not blocked by interstellar dust.
d) they can be linked to form interferometers. e) All of the above
are true. The Very Large Array links separate radio telescopes to
create much better resolution.

- Question 9 Infrared telescopes are very useful for observing a)
pulsars & black holes. b) from locations on the ground. c) hot
stars & intergalactic gas. d) neutron stars. e) cool stars
& star-forming regions.

- Question 9 Infrared telescopes are very useful for observing a)
pulsars & black holes. b) from locations on the ground. c) hot
stars & intergalactic gas. d) neutron stars. e) cool stars
& star-forming regions. Infrared images of star-forming
nurseries can reveal objects still shrouded in cocoons of gas and
dust.
