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`

Draw a ray diagram depicting the formation of the image by an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment.
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 |
Define its magnifying power and write the expression for it?
Define magnifying power of a telescope. Write its expression.
The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece of a microscope are 1.25 cm and 5 cm respectively. Find the position of the object relative to the objective in order to obtain an angular magnification of 30 in normal adjustment.
A giant refracting telescope at an observatory has an objective lens of focal length 15 m. If an eyepiece lens of focal length 1.0 cm is used, find the angular magnification of the telescope. If this telescope is used to view the moon, what is the diameter of the image of the moon formed by the objective lens? The diameter of the moon is 3.42 × 106 m and the radius of the lunar orbit is 3.8 × 108 m.
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 labelled ray diagram showing the formation of an image by a refracting telescope when the final image lies at infinity.
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.
