    A telescope has focal length of objective and eyepiece as 200 cm and 5 cm respectively. What is magnification of telescope?

    A)  40           

    B)  80

    C)  50

    D)  0.01

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     In relaxed eye state of telescope or when fin image is formed at infinity, the magnification of telescope is given by \[|M|\,=\,\frac{{{f}_{o}}}{{{f}_{e}}}\] where\[{{f}_{o}}=\] focal length of objective = 200 cm \[{{f}_{e}}=\]focal length of eyepiece = 5 cm Hence,    \[|M|=\frac{200}{5}=40\] Note: The aperture of the objective lens is kept large so that more and more rays coming from the heaver body may enter the telescope and a bright image formed by the objective lens. The aperture of the eye lens is kept comparatively small so that all the rays may enter the eye.
