A telescope has focal length of objective and eye-piece as 200 cm and 5 cm respectively. What is magnification of telescope?

Options

  1. A4040
  2. B8080
  3. C5050
  4. D0.010.01

Correct answer

A. 4040

Step-by-step solution

In relaxed eye state of telescope or when final image is formed at infinity, the magnification of telescope is given by ∣M∣=fofe|M|=\frac{f_o}{f_e} where fo= focal length of objective =200cmfe= focal length of eye-piece =5cm\begin{aligned} f_o & =\text{ focal length of objective }=200 \mathrm{ cm} \\ f_e & =\text{ focal length of eye-piece }=5 \mathrm{ cm}\end{aligned} Hence, ∣M∣=2005=40∣M∣=2005=40|M|=\frac{200}{5}=40 |M|=\frac{200}{5}=40 Note : The aperture of the objective lens is kept large so that more and more rays coming from the heavenly body may enter the telescope and a bright image is formed by the objective lens. The aperture of the eye lens is kept comparatively small so that all the rays may enter the eye.
