Refracting telescope: The angular magnification of a refracting telescope is 40 x. When the object and final image are both at infinity, the distance between the eyepiece and the objective is 143.5 cm. The telescope is used to view a distant radio tower. The real image of the tower, formed by the objective, is 6.0 mm in height. The focal point of the eyepiece is positioned at the real image. What is the focal length of the objective lens?

Lens-maker’s formula: A compound lens is made by joining the plane surfaces of two thin plano-convex lenses of different glasses. The radius of curvature of each convex surface is 80 cm. The indices of refraction of the two glasses are 1.50 and 1.60. What is the focal length of the compound lens?

Capacitors in combination: Five capacitors are connected across a potential difference Vab as shown in the figure. Because of the dielectrics used, each capacitor will break down if the potential across it exceeds 30.0 V. The largest that Vab can be without damaging any of the capacitors is closest to

Field of a long wire: Three very long, straight, parallel wires each carry currents of 4.00 A, directed out of the page as shown in the figure. The wires pass through the vertices of a right isosceles triangle of side 2.00 cm. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at point P at the midpoint of the hypotenuse of the triangle?

Faraday’s law: A ten-loop coil having an area of 0.23 m2 and a very large resistance is in a 0.047-T uniform magnetic field oriented so that the maximum flux goes through the coil. The coil is then rotated so that the flux through it goes to zero in 0.34 s. What is the magnitude of the average emf induced in the coil during the 0.34 s?
