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.

57Co decays to 57Fe by $\beta^+-\text{ emission.}$- emission. The resulting 57Fe is in its excited state and comes to the ground state by emitting $\gamma-\text{rays}.$ The half-life of $\beta^+-\text{decay}$ is 270 days and that of the $\gamma-\text{emissions}$ is 10-8 s. A sample of 57Co gives 5.0 × 109 gamma rays per second. How much time will elapse before the emission rate of gamma rays drops to 2.5 × 109per second?
