S R Kulkarni Caltech Optical Observatories Workhorse Instruments Optical Imagers amp Spectrographs NIR Imagers amp Spectrographs and so on Specialized Instruments Polarimeters Rapid spectroscopy . Essential Questions- You should be able to answer these questions by the end of the PowerPoint.. What is the purpose of a telescope?. How do refracting telescopes work?. How do reflecting telescopes work?. Telescopes. Key Concepts. What are the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum?. What are telescopes and how do they work?. Where are most large telescopes located?. Telescopes - Key Terms. Telescope. 3: Telescopes. Images can be formed through reflection or refraction.. Reflecting mirror. 3.1 Optical Telescopes. Image formation. Modern telescopes are all reflectors:. Light traveling through lens is refracted differently depending on wavelength.. Optical Telescopes. Ground based and on satellites. Observations are recorded using a camera instead of the human eye most times. . This is so we can separate colors into light and using times to study changes over time.. rd. workshop on . . . Large Mm/. Submm. Telescopes . . . in the ALMA Era. March 10, 09:00 – 18:10. March 11, 09:00 – 17:40. COSMOS Lodge. Conference Room. Background of the workshop. Types of Telescopes. A telescope collects light over a large area and focuses it in a . small area where it can be viewed with an eye or a camera. This can be done in 2 ways:. Refracting Telescopes. Big. . Glass. Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). Las . Campanas. , Chile. First Light 2024. Large Binocular Telescope (LBTO). Mt Graham, AZ, 2007. Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), Cerro . Pachon. How astronomers study space. Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR). Light can travel through empty space. All EMR travels at the speed of light. . 3 x 10. 8. m/sec. Astronomers study different types of EMR. Why . do we need telescopes?. Humans can only see 6000 stars at night and cannot resolve (discern) the detail of objects in the sky if they are too close together. . Humans also cannot see anything but visible light. . History. In 1773 Herschel invented a large . reflecting . telescope and discovered Uranus. This was the first “new” planet.. In late 1800’s . Kuiper. found methane gas in Saturn’s moon with the largest . SPECTROSCOPY. Uses visible wavelength split into colors. Doppler shift. Wavelengths change when object is moving. Red/ . Blue. Shift. RECEDING (moving away) objects show a INCREASE in WAVELENGTH- red shift. Diffraction of Light. Newton pointed . out in his 1704 book . Opticks. , that "Light is never known to follow crooked passages nor to bend into the shadow". . This concept is consistent with the particle theory, which proposes that light particles must always travel in straight lines.. Each set contains 400-500 instrument cards. Each card shows an instrument image on one side, and the name, function, and category of the instrument on the other side. Dr Dekan Albasha.. ST5 Clinical Radiology.. North west school of Radiology..
