How to build a compound microscope.
Eyepiece use longer focal length = fe
Objective lens use shorter focal length. = fo
fe > fo
Label the fe and fo
Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of
images.

Design an optical instrument in the double-decker
double
bus so that The driver at the lower deck is able to
see the upper deck. With cheaper cost. (Phg)
Use periscope
Cheaper than CCTV
2 plane mirrors//2
Reflect light from object
prisms
Mirrors are arranged parallel light from first mirror
will be reflected into second mirror
Light from second mirror is reflected into the
drivers eyes
Tube or casing to hold mirror easier to handle
periscope
Mirrors are at 45o angle
How to built compound microscope.
Thicker lens as an objective lens, thinner lens
as an eyepiece.
Fo and Fe are not overlapped.
Light ray to form the first image.
First image formed shown.
Light ray to form final image.
Final image formed shown.

Explain how to built simple periscope and suggest
modification to convert the periscope to binoculars
Draw a labeled diagram
Specification of the optical fiber use in an
endoscope for medical imaging.(Mk)
Low density
Lighter
High flexibility
Can be bent easily.
High purity
Avoid loss of signal.
Smaller in size
Can occupied in small
space.
Made from stronger
Not easily break

Concave mirror
To provide wider field view
Bigger size of mirror
To enable a wider view and
sharper image.

Characteristics of optical fiber
Small critical angle
Internal reflection can
easily occur
High density
To have small critical angle
Stiffness is low
Can be easily bent
High strength

Modify an astronomical telescope become a
binocular.
Astronomical telescope uses 2 convex lens.
Objective lens and eyepiece.
Objective lens has longer fo. Eyepiece has
shorter fe.
