The focal length of the objective of a telescope is larger than the focal length of its eyepiece. 3. The magnification of a telescope increases with the increases in focal length of its objective. 4. The magnification of a microscope increases with the increases in focal le
Options
- A1 and 3 only
- B1 and 4
- C2,3 and 4
- D1, 2 and 3
Correct answer
D. 1, 2 and 3
Step-by-step solution
In case of compound microscope both the eyepiece and the objective of are made up of convex lenses. The focal length of the objective of a telescope is larger than the focal length of its eyepiece. The magnification of a telescope increases with the increase in focal length of its objective since m= f _ o / f _ e while the magnification of microscope decreases with increase in focal length of its objective.
