Question:
The magnifying power of telescope is high if
The magnifying power of telescope is high if
Updated On: Feb 18, 2024
- both objective and eye-piece have short focal length
- both objective and eye-piece have long focal length
- the objective has a long focal length and the eye-piece has a short focal length
- the objective has a short focal length and the eye piece has a long focal length
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Magnifying power of telescope is $\frac{f_{o}}{f_{e}}$,
so the magnifying power of telescope will be high if the objective has a long focal length and the eye piece has a short focal length.

Concepts Used:
Optical instruments
A device that processes light waves (or photons), either to enhance an image for viewing or to analyze and determine its characteristic properties is called an optical instrument (or "optic" for short).
Applications of Optical Instruments:
- Microscope - It is one of the most extensively used optical instruments comprised of only one lens or combination of the lenses for magnifying and inspecting bodies that are too small to be seen in detail by clear eyes. Earlier microscopes had only one lens, and are, therefore, called simple microscopes, but the present microscopes are accessible with at least two lenses and thereby, termed a compound microscope.
- Telescope - It is another remarkable optical instrument. It makes distant objects emerge nearer by using an arrangement of lenses or lenses and curved mirrors that is used to observe the objects by absorption, emission, and reflection of their electromagnetic radiation to furnish a magnified image. As they are used to view objects that are far away, they include at least two lenses.
