Astronomical telescope
When the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision:

Magnifying power, `M =β/α`

Since α and β are small, we have:

∴ `M= tanβ/tanα    ...... (1)`

In `ΔA'B'C_2, tanβ = (A'B')/(C_2B') `

In `ΔA'B'C_1, tanβ = (A'B')/(C_2B') `

From equation (i), we get:

`M = (A'B')/(C_2B') xx (C_1B')/(A'B')`

\[\Rightarrow\] `M = (C_1B')/(C_2B')`

Here, `C_1B' = +f_0`

\[\Rightarrow\] `C_2B' = -u_e`

\[\Rightarrow\] `M = f_0/ -u_e  .......... (2)`

Using the lens equation `(1/v-1/u=1/f)`for the eyepieces `(1/-D-1/-u_e=1/f_e,)`we get:

`(-1/D+1/u_e=1/f_e)`

\[\Rightarrow\] `(1/u_e=1/(f_e)+1/D)`

\[\Rightarrow\] `(f_0)/u_e =(f_0)/(f_e )(1+f_e/D)`

\[\Rightarrow\] `(-f_0)/u_e =(-f_0)/(f_e )(1+f_e/D) or M = -f_0/(f_e) (1+f_e/D) `

In order to have a large magnifying power and high resolution of the telescope, its objective lens should have a large focal length and the eyepiece lens should have a short focal length.

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.

A number of optical devices and instruments have been designed and developed such as periscope, binoculars, microscopes and telescopes utilising the reflecting and refracting properties of mirrors, lenses and prisms. Most of them are in common use. Our knowledge about the formation of images by the mirrors and lenses is the basic requirement for understanding the working of these devices.
