An astronomical refracting telescope is being used by an observer to observe planets in normal adjustment. The focal lengths of the objective and eye piece used in the construction of the telescope are 20 m20 \mathrm{~m} and 2 cm2 \mathrm{~cm} respectively. Consider the following statements about the telescope: (a) The distance between the objective and eye piece is 20.02 m20.02 \mathrm{~m} (b) The magnification of the telescope is (−)1000(-) 1000 (c) The image of the planet is erect and diminished (d) The aperture of eye piece is smaller than that of objectie The correct statements are:

Options

  1. A(a), (b) and (c)
  2. B(b), (c) and (d)
  3. C(c), (d) and (a)
  4. D(a), (b) and (d)

Correct answer

D. (a), (b) and (d)

Step-by-step solution

Given, fe=2cm, and  fo=20m=2000cm\begin{aligned} & f_e=2 \mathrm{ cm}, \text{\text{ and } } \\ & f_o=20 \mathrm{ m}=2000 \mathrm{ cm} \end{aligned} For normal adjustment, Magnification power =−fofe=−20002=−1000Length of  telescope =fo+fe=2000+2=2002cm=20.02m\begin{aligned} \text{Magnification power } & =\frac{-f o}{f e}=\frac{-2000}{2} \\ & =-1000 \\ \text{Length\text{ of } telescope } & =f o+f e \\ & =2000+2 \\ & =2002 \mathrm{ cm} \\ & =20.02 \mathrm{ m} \end{aligned} The image formed is inverted and magnified, and the aperture of objective is larger than eye piece of the telescope. (fo&fe\left(f_o \& f_e\right. are focal lengths of objective & eye piece respectively.)
