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 ЁЭСЩ. What is the angular magnification of the telescope?

Let fo and fe be the focal length of the objective and eyepiece respectively.
For normal adjustment, the distance from the objective to the eyepiece is fo + fe.
Taking the line on the objective as an object and the eyepiece as a lens.
u = -(fo + fe) and f = fe
`1/v = 1/([-{f_o + f_e}]) = 1/f_e` ⇒ v = `((f_o + f_e)/f_o)f_e`
Linear magnification (eyepiece) = `v/u = "Image size"/"Object size" = f_e/f_o = l/L`
∴ Angular magnification of the telescope
M = `f_o/f_e = L/l`

A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 140 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5.0 cm. What is the magnifying power of the telescope for viewing distant objects when
- the telescope is in normal adjustment (i.e., when the final image is at infinity)?
- the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision (25 cm)?
You are given the following three lenses. Which two lenses will you use as an eyepiece and as an objective to construct an astronomical telescope ? Give reason
| Lenses | Power (D) | Aperture (cm) |
| L1 | 3 | 8 |
| L2 | 6 | 1 |
| L3 | 10 | 1 |
You are given three lenses of power 0.5 D, 4 D, and 10 D to design a telescope.
1) Which lenses should be used as objective and eyepiece? Justify your answer.
2) Why is the aperture of the objective preferred to be large?
Describe briefly the two main limitations and explain how far these can be minimized in a reflecting telescope ?
Draw a labelled ray diagram of an astronomical telescope to show the image formation of a distant object. Write the main considerations required in selecting the objective and eyepiece lenses in order to have large magnifying power and high resolution of the telescope.
The eyepiece of an astronomical telescope has a focal length of 10 cm. The telescope is focussed for normal vision of distant objects when the tube length is 1.0. m. Find the focal length of the objective and the magnifying power of the telescope.
A lady cannot see objects closer than 40 cm from the left eye and closer than 100 cm from the right eye. While on a mountaineering trip, she is lost from her team. She tries to make an astronomical telescope from her reading glasses to look for her teammates. (a) Which glass should she use as the eyepiece? (b) What magnification can she get with relaxed eye?
An astronomical telescope uses two lenses of powers 10 dioptres and 1 dioptre. If the final image of a distant object is formed at infinity, calculate the length of the telescope
Draw a ray diagram for the formation of image of an object by an astronomical telescope, in normal adjustment. Obtain the expression for its magnifying power.
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.
