Draw a labeled ray diagram of a reflecting telescope. Mention its two advantages over the refracting telescope.

उत्तर
Reflecting Telescope,
Its two advantages over Refracting telescope:
1. It reduces the spherical aberration and forms a clear focused image.
2. It doesn’t require a lens of very large aperture as refracting type requires that cannot be manufactured easily.

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.
Define magnifying power of a telescope. Write its expression.
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.
Define the term ‘resolving power of a telescope’.
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.
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.
