(a) Define magnifying power of a telescope. (b) Write its expression. A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 150 cm and an eye piece of focal length 5 cm. If this telescope is used to view a 100m high tower 3 x 10^(5)cm away , find the height of the final image when it is formed 25 cam away from the eye piece.

Answer»

Solution :(a) Magnifying power is the ratio of the angle subtended at the eye by the image to the angle subtended at the unaided eye by the object.
Expression `:`
`m = ( beta )/( alpha) = ( f_(0))/( f_(e ))`
` m = ( f_(0))/( f_(e )) = (1+ ( f_(e))/(D))`
(b) USING ,the lens equation for objective lens , `:`
`(1)/(f_(0))= ( 1)/( v_(0)) - ( 1)/( u_(0))`
`RARR (1)/( 150) = ( 1)/( v_(0)) - ( 1)/( - 3 xx 10^(5))`
`rArr (1)/(v_(0)) = ( 1)/( 150) - (1)/( - 3 xx 10^(5)) = ( 2000 - 1)/( 3 xx 10^(5))`
`rArr v_(0) = ( - 3 xx 10^(5))/( 1999) cm`
`~~ 150 cm`
Hence, MAGNIFICATION due to the objective lens
` m_(0) = ( v_(0))/( u _(0) ) = ( 150 xx 0^(-2) m)/( 3000 m ) `
`~~ (10^(-2))/( 20) =0.05 xx 10^(-2)`
Using lens FORMULA for eyepiece,
`(1)/(f_(e )) = ( 1)/( v_(e )) - ( 1)/( u _(e ))`
`rArr(1)/( 5) = ( 1)/( -25) - (1)/(u_(e ))`
`rArr (1)/( u_(e )) = ( 1)/( -25) - ( 1)/( 5) = ( -1-5)/( 25)`
`rArr u_(e ) = ( - 25)/( 6) cm`
`:.` Magnification due to eyepiece,` m_(e ) = ( - 25)/(- (25)/(6)) = 6`
Hence, total magnification`rArrm= m_(e ) xx m _(0)`
`m = 6 xx 5 xx 10^9-4) \= 30 xx 10^(-4)`
Hence, size of the final image
`= 30 xx 10^(-4) xx 100 `m
=30cm
