$A$ simple telescope, consisting of an objective of focal length $60\, cm$ and a single eye lens of focal length $5\, cm$, is focused on a distant object in such a way that parallel rays emerge from the eye lens. If the object subtends an angle of $2^o$ at the objective, the angular width of the image is........$^o$.

What is the primary purpose of the eyepiece in a telescope?

Diameter of the moon is $3.5 \times 10^3 \, km$ and its distance from earth is $3.8 \times 10^5 \, km$. It is seen by a telescope whose objective and eyepiece have focal lengths $4 \, m$ and $10 \, cm$ respectively. What will be the angular diameter of the image of the moon in degrees?

$A$ small telescope has an objective lens of focal length $140 \; cm$ and an eyepiece of focal length $5.0 \; cm$. What is the magnifying power of the telescope for viewing distant objects when
$(a)$ the telescope is in normal adjustment (i.e.,when the final image is at infinity)?
$(b)$ the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision $(25 \; cm)$?

An astronomical refracting telescope is being used by an observer to observe planets in normal adjustment. The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece used in the construction of the telescope are $20\,m$ and $2\,cm$ respectively. Consider the following statements about the telescope:
$(a)$ The distance between the objective and eyepiece is $20.02\,m$.
$(b)$ The magnification of the telescope is $1000$.
$(c)$ The image of the planet is erect and diminished.
$(d)$ The aperture of the eyepiece is smaller than that of the objective.
The correct statements are:

The focal lengths of the objective and eye lenses of a telescope are respectively $200 \, cm$ and $5 \, cm$. The maximum magnifying power of the telescope will be:
