Radio telescope

that’s nothing compared to the universe that can be explored with a Hubble telescope and the radio telescope. Space craft and technology provides the world with astronomical information, discovering information that is beyond our capabilities on Earth capabilities to discover with our eyes alone. Two major telescopes that have been in orbit around the Earth’s Atmosphere discovering new information are the Hubble telescope (Optical) and the radio telescope (Non-optical). Optical telescope are used to focus light from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is the variety of wavelengths / frequencies that radiation extend to. The smaller the length of the radio wavelength, the larger the Frequency (Hz) of the object is, as seen in the picture above, with a radio wavelength having the largest wavelength and an atomic nucleus having the smallest wavelength. Different wavelengths produce a different sort of radiation, and the only radiation that our…

A light microscope works like a telescope using glass lenses to reflect light, which magnifies images which are naked to the human eye such as cells and dust. The lens closest to your eye is called the eyepiece lens. This usually has a magnification of x10. Objective lenses are lenses of several different strengths which magnify the image. The stage is the place where the microscopic slide sits. This is held in place by the clips. The light source (can be a mirror or a bulb) projects light onto…

That would be going against some of our most important rules about not going too close to a planet that we don’t know enough information about. It’s simply too risky.” Mr. Neddis objected. Tenek shifted in his seat. “Ok, I understand Mr. Neddis. I don’t know if you are aware of this or not, but the power is out at the observatory. My electrical telescope won’t work without power. What do you want me to do?” Tenek asked nervously. “I don’t care what you do, just as long you don’t take that…

Purpose: Observe a compound light microscope to learn the names of its major parts. Research: Microscope is an essential tool for the study of small structures such as cells. The most common type of microscope is the bright-field microscope, used for this purpose is the compound light microscope, it is called compound because it uses two sets of lenses the objective and the ocular. The ocular lens usually magnifies 10x. …

1. How are the photographs taken with a 3D microscope different than those taken with a regular camera? How are they similar? The 3D microscope photographs are used to show detail that a regular photograph could not, for example at a crime scene. The similarity is the basic image, it is the same image but the only difference it has with a 3D microscope is the detail shown. 2. How can photography allow us to view the world around us in different ways? Photography captures not a second of the…

The modern day telescope is a complex device made up of carefully placed parts that have evolved over hundreds of years. Since it’s creation in the 16th century, it has been used for significant discoveries contributing towards many scientific discoveries. From refraction to reflection we have made significant advancements in this seemingly basic technology to allow us to see both clearer and further. As knowledge of our planet and surroundings grows, as does the technology we use to survey it.…

The Keck Observatory in Maunakea, Hawaii has made some amazing discoveries over the years, making it one of the most powerful telescopes in the world. Hawaii is a perfect place to have an observatory because it is located on a 13,796 foot summit with very few city lights to pollute the sky around it (Keck, n.d.). Also, the atmosphere in Hawaii for the majority of the year is clear and dry offering the best look at the sky above us. According to Keck’s website, Keck Observatory consists of two…

Abstract- The main material and focus in this lab is the compound light microscope. During this lab you will check the microscopes by drawing what you see to make sure the high and low powers work properly. After you tested your microscope you take a toothpick and scrap it on the side of you mouth and examine what you see through the microscope, your final results should be a drawing of what you saw through both the high and low powered lens. Introduction- This lab is based on the…

Have you ever wondered or thought about how the first telescopes were used and how they looked? Throughout history, there have been many inventions and innovations added into a telescope. Telescopes can vary in shape, size, and even color, but are all used for similar reasons. The development of the telescope dates back to around the 1600s and are still being developed and made today. Today, there are several telescopes that can be identified by people who worked and contributed into making some…

The goal of the first part of the experiment was to examine the focal lengths of various thick lenses, spherical aberration, and 1D magnification. First, we observe that the focal length does not seem to change when we move the lens closer and farther away from the box. Then, we find that the light rays converge after passing through the bi-convex and plano-convex lens and diverge after passing through the bi-concave lens. Therefore, the focal length of the bi-concave lens is negative. We also…
