Vedclass · Answer

(B) The angular magnification $M$ of a telescope in normal adjustment (where parallel rays emerge from the eye-lens) is given by the ratio of the focal length of the objective $(f_o)$ to the focal length of the eye-lens $(f_e)$: $M = \frac{f_o}{f_e}$ Also,the angular magnification is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended by the image at the eye $(\beta)$ to the angle subtended by the object at the objective $(\alpha)$: $M = \frac{\beta}{\alpha}$ Given: $f_o = 60\,cm$ $f_e = 5\,cm$ $\alpha = 2^o$ Equating the two expressions for magnification: $\frac{f_o}{f_e} = \frac{\beta}{\alpha}$ $\frac{60}{5} = \frac{\beta}{2}$ $12 = \frac{\beta}{2}$ $\beta = 12 	imes 2 = 24^o$ Therefore,the angular width of the image is $24^o$.

In a simple telescope,the focal length of the objective lens is $f_o = 60 \ cm$ and the focal length of the eyepiece is $f_e = 5 \ cm$. If the rays coming from the object make an angle of $2^\circ$ at the objective,then the angular magnification (angular size of the image) is ........... $^\circ$.

The focal length of an objective of a telescope is $3 \ m$ and its diameter is $15 \ cm$. Assuming that for a normal eye,the diameter of the pupil is $3 \ mm$ for its complete use,the focal length of the eyepiece must be: (in $cm$)
