Galileo Galilei | Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to use a telescope to study the heavens. Galileo made a number of observations that finally helped convince people that the Sun-centered solar system model (the heliocentric model)‚ as proposed by Copernicus‚ was correct. What is a Galilean telescope? The original design Galileo Galilei came up with in 1609 is commonly called a Galilean telescope. Galileo’s telescope with which Jupiter’s moons could be observed was made with a plano convex

Technology Devices to Overcome the Limitations of Sight and Hearing Humans have sight and hearing limitation. Without any devices‚ our sight and hearing was limited. Most of the limitation of sight can be overcome with the help of certain optical instruments such as magnifying glass‚ microscope‚ binoculars and others. The range of frequency of hearing in human 20 Hz to 20 000 Hz. It was different according to the age of a person. Hearing limitations can be overcome by using devices such as

INTRODUCTION Defects of Hearing •Hearing defects means ear is not working correctly or as well as it should. •It may occur in more than one part of the ear. •1. DEAF-full or partial decrease in the ability to detect or understand sounds. Deaf usually caused by : - Eardrum is torn-cannot function - Ossicle bone fused together-can’t vibrate - Auditory nerve damaged by loud sound - Cochlea damage due to sickness/ drugs •2. Temporary hearing loss-build-up of earwax •3. Presbycusis- hearing loss

Limitations of sight can be overcome by using appropriate optical devices such as microscope‚ telescope‚ periscope and others. Limitation Of Hearing We cannot hear all the sounds around us. The range of frequency of hearing in human is from 20 Hz to 20 000 Hz. It is different according to the age of a person. Different people have different

Chapter 2 Mirror Design For Optical Telescopes The reflector mirror is the most important component of an astronomical optical telescope. This chapter provides discussions on the requirements for astronomical optical mirrors; the ways to reduce mirror weight‚ mirror cost‚ and mirror materials; the methods of mirror figuring‚ polishing‚ and surface coating; the design of mirror support mechanism; the concept of mirror seeing; and the stray light control. Emphasis is placed on various mirror

Background: The telescope of an engineer’s transit‚ theodolite‚ plane table alidade‚ and many levels are furnished with stadia hairs in addition to the regular cross hairs. One stadia hair‚ the upper cross hair‚ is above and the other‚ the lower cross hair‚ an equal distance below the middle cross hair. The process of taking stadia measurements consists of observing‚ through the telescope‚ the apparent locations of the two stadia hairs on the rod‚ which

Mirrors in Telescopes The human eye cannot detect much light because of the small diameter of the retina‚ so telescopes and microscopes are used to help us see more than what humans are naturally capable of. Lenses and mirrors are the two things that can make a star that is a billion miles away look like it so much closer. Arizona is home to one of largest telescopes in the world‚ the Large Binocular Telescope. It has two twenty-seven foot mirrors to create the best and clearest image for the

sized telescope linked with mechanisms to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It has several moving parts and is quite heavy. The theodolite telescope is fixed within perpendicular axes- the vertical axis and the horizontal‚ or trunion‚ axis. The instrument is fixed on a base that can be rotated on a tripod by a leveling system. The angle to the desired point can be measured by pointing the telescope towards that particular point. The angle thus obtained can be then read on the telescope scale
