Question:

To increase magnification power of refracting type Telescope, we should increase:

Options:

the focal length of the objective

the focal length of the eyepiece

aperture of the objective

aperture of the eyepiece

Correct Answer:

the focal length of the objective

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → the focal length of the objective

The magnifying power (M) of a refracting telescope is,

$M=\frac{f_o}{f_e}$  [$f_0$ = focal length of objective]

Hence, by increasing the focal length of the objective lens, one increases magnification.
