For an astronomical telescope,the focal length of the objective lens is $f_{0}$ and the eyepiece lens is $f_{e}$. Then the tube length of the telescope is . . . . . . .

An astronomical refracting telescope is being used by an observer to observe planets in normal adjustment. The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece used in the construction of the telescope are $20\,m$ and $2\,cm$ respectively. Consider the following statements about the telescope:
$(a)$ The distance between the objective and eyepiece is $20.02\,m$.
$(b)$ The magnification of the telescope is $1000$.
$(c)$ The image of the planet is erect and diminished.
$(d)$ The aperture of the eyepiece is smaller than that of the objective.
The correct statements are:

$A$ terrestrial telescope is made by introducing an erecting lens of focal length $f$ between the objective and eyepiece lenses of an astronomical telescope. This causes the length of the telescope tube to increase by an amount equal to

If both the object and the image are at infinite distances from a refracting telescope,its magnifying power will be equal to:

On which of the following does the magnifying power of a telescope depend?
