"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".

Draw a labelled ray diagram showing the image formation by a refracting telescope. Define its magnifying power.
The magnifying power of an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment is 2.9 and the objective and the eyepiece are separated by a distance of 150 cm. Find the focal lengths of the two lenses.
Assertion: An astronomical telescope has an objective lens having large focal length.
Reason: Magnifying power of an astronomical telescope varies directly with focal length of the objective lens.
