"A telescope resolves whereas a microscope magnifies." Justify this statement ?

उत्तर
Through telescope, we see the objects that are at infinite distance from the observer. These objects are already far apart from each other, but due to infinite distance from the observer, they do not appear distinctly. Thus, the telescope resolves these distant objects so that we can see them distinctly. On the other hand, a microscope magnifies extremely small objects. Thus, one can say that "a telescope resolves whereas a microscope magnifies".

A giant refracting telescope at an observatory has an objective lens of focal length 15 m. If an eyepiece lens of focal length 1.0 cm is used, find the angular magnification of the telescope. If this telescope is used to view the moon, what is the diameter of the image of the moon formed by the objective lens? The diameter of the moon is 3.42 × 106 m and the radius of the lunar orbit is 3.8 × 108 m.
A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 140 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5.0 cm. Find the magnifying power of the telescope for viewing distant objects when
- the telescope is in normal adjustment,
- the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision.
In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment, a straight black line of length L is drawn on the objective lens. The eyepiece forms a real image of this line whose length is 𝑙. What is the angular magnification of the telescope?

| There are two types of optical instruments: Microscopes and Telescopes. Microscopes are used to magnify very tiny objects whereas telescopes are used to study distant objects. Both of them deploy convex lenses. In his telescope, Newton used a large parabolic mirror to collect light from the stars and reduce aberrations. |
