Review and Discussion
All even questions. It is permissible to paraphrase material from the text if it is an appropriate response. Copying word-for-word from the text is an inappropriate response and will not earn credit. Five points possible.
Conceptual T or F,
All even problems (enter T or F for each). You will find the answers for these questions in the back of the book. However, you are expected to understand these questions and the answers - these topics are subject to inclusion on both chapter tests and the final test.

Problems
You must show your work. Partial credit may be awarded. Problems differ slightly from the book. Respond to the question as stated here. Two points per question.
Problem 4.
First use the diffraction equation on p. 119 to show that this telescope has a mirror diameter of 3.5 meters. Then use this equation again to show that this telescope has an angular resolution of 0.25 arcseconds for 3.5 micron IR radiation, and 0.01 arcseconds for 0.14 micron UV radiation
Problem 8.
This problem is worked as problem 3, multiplying the length of the exposure by the efficiency of the recording material.
Problem 9.
Show that on the Moon, the angular resolutions of the SST, the HST, and a radio interferometer correspond to distances of 5.5 km, 92 m, and 1.8 m respectively. (Hint, the small angle equation pertains.)
Below is a space for your thoughts, including general comments
about today's assignment (what seemed impossible, what reading didn't make
sense, what we should spend class time on, what was "cool", what's happening
in your life that you want your instructor to know about, etc.):
When you are satisfied with your responses click this button.
If all goes well, you well immediately see a new page with
the statement,"Your ...was received...".
If you don't see this new page,
it is likely that your submission was not successful.
In this case, you should use the back button
on your browser to return to this page and resubmit. Repeat until you see
"Your ... was received..." appear.
If this doesn't happen, you should use the back button
to return to this page, print this form with your responses, and take the printout to your
instructor before class.
Alternatively, you may paste your responses into an e-mail and send it to your
instructor, JMattox@uncfsu.edu.
Your instructor will bring a printout of your submission to class along with
what are considered correct responses. We will then discuss these questions in
class to the extent that there is interest.
