Question
Draw a labelled ray diagram showing the image formation by a refracting telescope. Define its magnifying power.
Advertisements
Solution
Magnifying power: The magnifying power is the ratio of the angle α subtended at the eye by the final image to the angle β which the object subtends at the lens or the eye.
`m = beta/alpha`
= `(hf_o)/(f_eh) = f_o/f_e`

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. |
