Magnification achieved by an astronomical telescope is 6 when final image is formed at infinity. Distance between objective and eyepiece is 49 cm. Calculate focal lengths of objective and eyepiece.

Answer»

42 cm and 7 cm
54 cm and 9 cm
72 cm and 12 cm
78 cm and 13 cm

Solution :When final image is formed at infinity then formula for magnification of astronomical telescope is given as follows:
`n=(f_(0))/(f_(e))rArr 6 =(f_(0))/(f_(e))rArr f_(0)=6f_(e)"...(i)"`

Length of the tube in this case is given as `L= f_(0)+ f_(e)` hence we can write the FOLLOWING: br>` f_(0)+ f_(e)=49"...(ii)"`
On solving equations (i) and (ii) we GET required focal lengths in cm.
`6f_(e)+f_(e)=49 rArr f_(e)=7 cm and f_(o)=42cm`
Hence, option (a) is correct.
