$A$ telescope has an objective lens of focal length $150\,cm$ and an eyepiece of focal length $5\,cm$. If a $50\,m$ tall tower at a distance of $1\,km$ is observed through this telescope in normal setting,the angle formed by the image of the tower is $\theta$,then $\theta$ is close to.....$^o$

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 $\text{ cm}$)

If the tube length of an astronomical telescope is $105 \, cm$ and the magnifying power is $20$ for normal setting,calculate the focal length of the objective in $cm$.

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 $\,cm$)
