In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment, a straight black line of length L is drawn on the objective lens. The eyepiece forms a real image of this line. The length of this image is l. The magnification of the telescope is(a) L/l(b) L/l + 1 (c) L/l - 1(d) L + l / L - l

Answer»

Correct Answer is: (a) L/l

Let fo and fe be the focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece respectively. For normal adjustment, distance from the objective to the eyepiece (tube length) = fo + fe. Treating the line on the objective as the object, and the eyepiece as the lens, u = -(fo + fe) and f = fe.

1/v - 1/-(fo + fe) = 1/fe

or 1/v = 1/fe - 1/fo + fe = fo/(fo + fe) fe

or v = (fo + fe)fe / fo

Magnification =|v/u| = fe/fo = image size/object size = l/L:

∴ fo/fe = L/l = magnification of telescope in normal adjustment.
