Optical Instruments & the Eye

The magnifying power of a refracting type of astronomical telescope is 'mm'. If focal length of eyepiece is doubled then the magnifying power will become

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. m=fofem = \dfrac{f_o}{f_e}
  2. fe→2fe⇒m′=fo2fe=m2f_e \to 2f_e \Rightarrow m' = \dfrac{f_o}{2f_e} = \dfrac{m}{2}
  3. So the answer is (c) m2\dfrac{m}{2}.
