6. You are given two convex lenses S and Q of different focal length. Lens S has a longer focal length than lens Q. Using the two lenses above explain how are you would make a simple astronomical telescope. Suggest modification that needs to be done on the telescope to produce clearer and bigger images. [10 marks] 7. You are given two convex lenses, R and S, with focal lengths of 40 cm and 10 cm respectively. Both the lenses are used to build a compound microscope. (i) Using the two lenses, explain how you would build a compound microscope. (ii) Suggest a suitable optical device to modify the microscope you built to produce brighter image. [10 marks]
