Question
Explain Cassegrain telescpoe with the help of figure.
✓
Answer
→Figure shows construction of cassegrain telescope. It uses two mirrors. Among them, the concave mirror called the object mirror (main mirror) and the convex mirror is called the secondary mirror.
→An object mirror has a larger focal length and a secondary mirror has a less focal length.
→As shown in figure, rays from a distant object are reflected by the objective mirror and focussed at the principal focus.
→But another small convex mirror is placed in the path of these rays. The rays reflected by this mirror are observed through the eyepiece.

Figure shows two identical capacitors, $C_1$ and $C_2,$ each of $1 \mu F$ capacitance connected to a battery of $6 V.$ Initially switch $'S\ '$ is closed. After sometime $'S\ '$ is left open and dielectric slabs of dielectric constant $K = 3$ are inserted to fill completely the space between the plates of the two capacitors. How will the $(i)$ charge and $(ii)$ potential difference between the plates of the capacitors be affected after the slabs are inserted?
