Write the two important factors considered to increase the magnifying power?
Advertisements
उत्तर
We can increase the magnifying power of telescope by
1. increasing the focal length of the objective
2. decreasing the focal length of eyepiece
Thus, two factor considered to increase the magnifying power are the focal lengths of objective and eyepiece.

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)?

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.
