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 schematic ray diagram of a reflecting telescope showing how rays coming from a distant object are received at the eyepiece.
With regard to an astronomical telescope of refracting type~ state how you will increase its:
1) magnifying power
2) resolving power
Draw a ray diagram showing the image formation of a distant object by a refracting telescope ?
Define its magnifying power and write the expression for it?
A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 150 cm and an eye piece of focal length 5 cm. If this telescope is used to view a 100 m high tower 3 km away, find the height of the final image when it is formed 25 cm away from the eye piece.
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.
Draw a labelled ray diagram showing the formation of an image by a refracting telescope when the final image lies at infinity.
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.
With the help of a ray diagram explain the working of a reflecting telescope.
Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.
| There are two types of optical instruments: Microscopes and Telescopes. Microscopes are used to magnify very tiny objects whereas telescopes are used to study distant objects. Both of them deploy convex lenses. In his telescope, Newton used a large parabolic mirror to collect light from the stars and reduce aberrations. |
- Rohit observed the launch of Chandrayan 3 with the help of an optical instrument. Name the instrument used by him.
- State any one advantage of a reflecting telescope over a refracting telescope.
