The magnifying power of a refracting type of astronomical telescope is $m$. If the focal length of the eyepiece is doubled,then the magnifying power will become:

The magnifying power of a telescope is high if its objective and eyepiece have respectively

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 ........... $^\circ$.
