To increase the magnifying power of a telescope ($f_o$ = focal length of the objective and $f_e$ = focal length of the eye lens):

  • A
    $f_o$ should be large and $f_e$ should be small
  • B
    $f_o$ should be small and $f_e$ should be large
  • C
    $f_o$ and $f_e$ both should be large
  • D
    $f_o$ and $f_e$ both should be small

The focal length of the objective lens of a telescope is $30 \text{ cm}$ and that of its eye lens is $3 \text{ cm}$. It is focused on a scale at a distance $2 \text{ m}$ from it. The distance of the objective lens from the eye lens to see the clear image is: (in $\text{ cm}$)

In a Galilean telescope,the final image formed is:

$A$ reflecting telescope has a large mirror as its objective with a radius of curvature equal to $80 \, cm$. What is the magnifying power of this telescope if the eyepiece used has a focal length of $1.6 \, cm$?
