State the condition under which a large magnification can be achieved in an astronomical telescope.

उत्तर १

Condition under which a large magnification can be achieved in an astronomical telescope:

In astronomical telescope, the light is incident from infinity on the objective lens and it forms image at the focus of the objective lens and for large magnification the length between the lens is so adjusted that the final image is formed at the least distance of the distinct vision from the eyepiece

Magnification of astronomical telescope is

\[(M . P )_\max = - \frac{f_o}{f_e}(1 + \frac{f_e}{d})\] To have large magnification power, \[f_o\] must be large as possible and \[f_e\] must be as small as possible.

उत्तर २

By increasing the focal length of objective lens and at the same time keeping the focal length of eye peice  minimum we can increase the magnifying power of telescope

A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 140 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5.0 cm. Find the magnifying power of the telescope for viewing distant objects when

  1. the telescope is in normal adjustment,
  2. the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision.

Assertion: An astronomical telescope has an objective lens having large focal length.

Reason: Magnifying power of an astronomical telescope varies directly with focal length of the objective lens.
