Practicing Success
An astronomical telescope has an angular magnification of magnitude 5 for distant objects. The separation between the objective and the eye piece is 36 cm and the final image is formed at infinity. The focal length $f_0$ of the objective and the length $f_e$ of the eye piece are |
$f_0$ = 45 cm and $f_e$ = - 9 cm $f_0$ = 50 cm and $f_e$ = 10 cm $f_0$ = 7.2 cm and $f_e$ = 5 cm $f_0$ = 30 cm and $f_e$ = 6 cm |
$f_0$ = 30 cm and $f_e$ = 6 cm |
We know that, $f_0 + f_e = 36$ …(1) Where $l$ = length of the tube = 36 cm $\frac{f_0}{f_e}=m=5$ …(2) Where m = magnification = 5 Solving (1) and (2) we obtain, $5\, f_e + f_e = 36$ $⇒ f_e = 6 cm\, and\, f_0 = 5\, f_e = 30 cm$ ∴ (D) |
