उत्तर

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.

Draw a ray diagram of astronomical telescope for the final image formed at infinity.


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.
  1. Why the image formed at infinity is often considered most suitable for viewing. Explain
  2. In modern microscopes, multicomponent lenses are used for both the objective and the eyepiece. Why?
  3. Write two points of difference between a compound microscope and an astronomical telescope
    OR
    Write two distinct advantages of a reflecting type telescope over a refracting type telescope.

With the help of a ray diagram explain the working of a reflecting telescope.


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.


A small telescope has an objective of focal length 140 cm and an eye piece of focal length 5.0 cm. The magnifying power of telescope for viewing a distant object?
