    The minimum magnifying power of a telescope is \[M\]. If the focal length of the eye lens is halved, the magnifying power will become:

    A) \[\frac{M}{4}\]                                 

    B) \[3\,\,M\]

    C) \[2\,\,M\]                                          

    D)  \[4\,\,M\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Minimum magnifying power is equal to ratio of focal length of objective to that of eyepiece. Magnifying power \[M\] is given by                 \[M=\frac{{{f}_{o}}}{{{f}_{e}}}\] where, \[{{f}_{o}}\] is focal length of objective, and \[{{f}_{e}}\] is focal length of eyepiece. Given,                   \[f_{e}^{'}=\frac{{{f}_{e}}}{2}\] \[\therefore \]                  \[M'=\frac{{{f}_{o}}}{{{f}_{e}}/2}=2\cdot \frac{{{f}_{o}}}{{{f}_{e}}}=2M\]
