    The magnifying power of a telescope is 9.  Hen it is adjusted for parallel rays, the distance between the objective and the eye-piece is found to be 20 cm. The focal length of the lenses are

    A)  18 cm, 2 cm     

    B)  11 cm, 9 cm

    C)  10 cm, 10 cm    

    D)  11 cm, 5 cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Magnifying power of telescope \[M=\frac{{{f}_{o}}}{{{f}_{e}}}\] \[9=\frac{{{f}_{o}}}{{{f}_{e}}}\] \[{{f}_{o}}=9{{f}_{o}}\] Length of telescope, \[L={{f}_{o}}+{{f}_{e}}\] \[20=9{{f}_{e}}+{{f}_{e}}\] \[{{f}_{e}}=2\,cm\] \[{{f}_{e}}=2\times 9=18\,cm\]
