For making a telescope two lenses of focal lengths 5 cm and 50 cm are to be used . Which lens will you use for objective ?

Answer»

Solution :FOCUSSING for infinity the magnifying power of a telescope is GIVEN by,
`m=(f_o)/(f_e)`
Where `f_o` = focal length of the objective and
`f_e` = focal length of the eyepiece
so for higher magnifying power `f_o` should be GREATER than `f_e`
Hence the lens of large focal length i.e ., 50 cm is to be used as objective .
