Question
Write the two important factors considered to increase the magnifying power?
Advertisements
Solution
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.

Draw a labelled ray diagram showing the formation of an image by a refracting telescope when the final image lies at infinity.
Draw a labelled ray diagram of an astronomical telescope in the near point adjustment position. A giant refracting telescope at an observatory has an objective lens of focal length 15 m and an eyepiece of focal length 1.0 cm. If this telescope is used to view the Moon, find the diameter of the image of the Moon formed by the objective lens. The diameter of the Moon is `3.48 xx 10^6`m, and the radius of the lunar orbit is `3.48 xx 10^8`m.
