Why are the light rays coming from a distant object are assumed to be parallel?
Instead of parallel rays, consider the light as a wave front. It leaves the source in a spherical wavefront. At a certain distance the sphere is so large and the curvature of the wavefront becomes so small that it can be considered locally flat, and behaves optically as though it were flat. At that point, the flat wave front is equivalent to parallel rays (which are perpendicular to the front).
What is the purpose of the collimator?
allow only parallel rays from strem of rays
How does light beam spread?
depends on what kind of light wave there are diverging beams that diverge there are parallel beams that... are parallel and there are converging beams that... converge to 1 point
What is the need to use telescope in spectrometer?
The collimator present in a spectrometer convert the rays from the source to parallel rays .Telescope is used to watch the parallel rays which means for the telescope the object is located at infinity.so that we use telescope.
The of light rays is caused by glass bending light rays?
no, the light rays are caused due to reflection,transmission and absorption of light. Index of refraction.
Why can rays be perpendicular but not parallel?
Rays pass through one point. Parallel lines never meet.
What is the difference between the way parallel light rays are affected by a concave mirror and a concave lens?
The difference between the two is that once the light passes through the concave lens it diverges, and the rays are refracted outward, and never meet a focal point. Then there is the parallel light rays that bounce off the curved surface of a concave mirror and then meet a single point ( focal point).
Parallel rays can be made to meet at one place called?
In Euclidean geometry they cannot. In other geometries they can meet at various points, depending on the configuration of the space. In projective geometry, for example, they meet at the "point at infinity". In physics, though, parallel rays (of light, for example), can be made to meet at the focus of a lens or mirror.
Describe what happen to parallel light rays hitting in a concave mirror?
describe what happens to parallel light rays when they hit a concave mirror
What happens when parallel rays of light hit a rough or bumpy surface?
what occurs when parallel rays of light hit a rough or a bumpy surface
What do lenses do to light rays?
They make the light rays converge to a point. Parallel rays converge at the focal point of the lens
Why does light from stars arrive at a telescope as parallel rays?
Many objects in space are so far away, that by the time their light arrives on Earth, the light rays are effectively parallel.
Can parallell rays from an angle?
Nope. Parallel rays never meet- and so cannot form an angle.
What diverges parallel light rays?
a concarve lense
What do converging lenses do to light rays?
They make the light rays converge to a point. Parallel rays converge at the focal point of the lens
What do parallel lines do when they hit a convex lens?
Parallel rays after hitting the convex lens meet all at the focus of the lens.
What are examples of parallel beam of light?
Rays from the sun are very close to parallel. Rays from a more distant star will be even closer to parallel.However, since light propagates as waves, you cannot have truly parallel beams which do not interfere.
