How does the magnifying power of a telescope change on increasing the diameter of its objective?(a) Independent(b) Doubled(c) Halved(d) Becomes zeroThis question was posed to me in an interview for internship.This key question is from Optical Instruments in section Ray Optics and Optical Instruments of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) Independent

Best explanation: MAGNIFYING power of a TELESCOPE is given as:

m = \(\frac {f_0}{f_e}\)

It is independent of the APERTURE of the OBJECT. So the magnifying power is not affected when the diameter of the OBJECTIVE is increased.
