The focal length of the objective and eye lens of an astronomical telescope are $2 \, m$ and $5 \, cm$ respectively. The final image is formed at $(i)$ the least distance of distinct vision and $(ii)$ infinity. The magnifying power in both cases will be:

  • A
    $-48, -40$
  • B
    $-40, -48$
  • C
    $-40, 48$
  • D
    $-48, 40$

If the focal length of the eyepiece of a telescope is doubled, its magnifying power $(m)$ will be

The objective and eyepiece of an astronomical telescope are double convex lenses with refractive index $1.5$. When the telescope is adjusted to infinity, the separation between the two lenses is $16 \,cm$. If the space between the lenses is now filled with water and the telescope is again adjusted for infinity, then the present separation between the lenses is: (in $\,cm$)

The magnifying power of a telescope is high if its objective and eyepiece have respectively

The magnification power of a telescope is $9$ and the distance between the two lenses is $20 \, cm$. What are the focal lengths of the component lenses?

The focal length of the objective lens of a telescope is $30 \text{ cm}$ and that of its eye lens is $3 \text{ cm}$. It is focused on a scale at a distance $2 \text{ m}$ from it. The distance of the objective lens from the eye lens to see the clear image is: (in $\text{ cm}$)
