Solution
a) Arrangement of lenses shown in the figure is refracting telescope.
b) 1) object lens collect the light coming form the distant object and forms the image
2)The image works as object for the eye piece which forms the final image.
c) We can get different magnifications by using the eye piece with different focal lengths.
d)

The above images are that of a specialized slide projector. Slides are small transparencies mounted in sturdy frames ideally suited to magnification and projection since they have a very high resolution and a high image quality. There is a tray where the slides are to be put into a particular orientation so that the viewers can see the enlarged erect images of the transparent slides. This means that the slides will have to be inserted upside down in the projector tray.
To show her students the images of insects that she investigated in the lab, Mrs. Iyer brought a slide projector. Her slide projector produced 500 times enlarged and inverted image of a slide on a screen 10 m away.
