प्रश्न
An astronomical telescope is to be designed to have a magnifying power of 50 in normal adjustment. If the length of the tube is 102 cm, find the powers of the objective and the eyepiece.
उत्तर
For the astronomical telescope,
Magnifying power, m = 50
Length of the tube, L = 102 cm
Let the focal length of objective and eye piece be f0 and fe respectively.
Now , using m = `f_0/f_e, we get :`
fo= 50fe ..(1)
And,
L = fo + fe =102 cm ...(2)
On substituting the value of fo from (1) in (2) . we get :
50 fe +fe =102
⇒ 51 fe = 102
⇒ fe = 2 cm = 0.02 m
And,
fo = 50 × 0.02 = 1 m
Power of the objective lens =`1/f_0` = 1 D And,
Power of the eye piece lens =`1/f_e = 1/0.02 = 50 D`

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
A number of optical devices and instruments have been designed and developed such as periscope, binoculars, microscopes and telescopes utilising the reflecting and refracting properties of mirrors, lenses and prisms. Most of them are in common use. Our knowledge about the formation of images by the mirrors and lenses is the basic requirement for understanding the working of these devices. |
