Answer:

The magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.

Explanation:

The expression for the magnification of an astronomical telescope is as follows;

M=-\frac{f_o}{f_e}

Here, M is the magnification of an astronomical telescope, f_e is the focal length of the eyepiece lens and f_o is the focal length of the objective lens.

It is given in the problem that an astronomical telescope having a focal length of objective lens 74 cm and whose eyepiece has a focal length of 2.4 cm.

Put f_o=74 cm and f_e=2.4 cm in the above expression.

M=-\frac{74}{2.4}

M=-30.83

Therefore, the magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.

A yet-to-be-built spacecraft starts from Earth moving at constant speed to the yet-tobe-discovered planet Retah, which is 20 lig
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The  time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's  frame

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between earth and Retah is  d = 20 \ light \ hours =  20 * 3600 *  c =  72000c \ m

Here c is the peed of light with value c =  3.0*10^8 m/s

The time taken to reach Retah from earth is  t =  25 \ hours  =  25 * 3600 =90000 \ sec

The velocity of the spacecraft is mathematically evaluated  as

     v_s =  \frac{d }{t}

substituting values

   v_s =  \frac{72000 * 3.0*10^{8} }{90000}

    v_s =  2.40*10^{8} \ m/s

The time elapsed in the spacecraft’s frame is mathematically evaluated as

      T  =  t *  \sqrt{ 1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

substituting value

       T  =  90000 *  \sqrt{ 1 -  \frac{[2.4*10^{8}]^2}{[3.0*10^{8}]^2} }

        T = 54000 \ s

=>    T  = 15 \ hours

So  The  time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's  frame
