Question 13 • FL-2003310-Physical Science - Teacher Directed Resource

The lens in the eyepiece of a reflecting telescope breaks. How will this most affect the function of the telescope?

Answer
A
Magnified images will appear upside down.
B
Magnified images will not be created.
C
Light from distant objects will not be captured.
D
Light rays will not be sent to the eyepiece.

Explanation

The primary mirror of a reflecting telescope captures light and forms an image. The eyepiece lens magnifies that image so it can be viewed clearly. If the eyepiece lens breaks, the telescope will still capture light, but it will not create a magnified image. The correct choice is B, “Magnified images will not be created.”
