A reflecting telescope is as shown below:
In a reflecting telescope, an image is formed by reflection from a curved mirror. The image formed is then magnified by a secondary mirror.
Advantages of reflecting telescope over a refracting telescope are:
1. There is no chromatic aberration for reflecting telescopes as the objective is a mirror.
2. Spherical aberration is reduced in the case of reflecting telescopes by using mirror objective in the form of a paraboloid.
(i) An a.c. source of voltage V = Vo sin ωt is connected to a series combination of L, C and R. Use the phasor diagram to obtain an expression for impedance of a circuit and the phase angle between voltage and current. Find the condition when current will be in phase with the voltage. What is the circuit in this condition called?
ii) In a series LR circuit, XL = R and the power factor of the circuit is P1. When capacitor with capacitance C, such that XL = XC is put in series, the power factor becomes P2. Calculate P1 / P2.
