Question

. A telescope is constructed with two lenses separated by a distance of 25 cm. The focal length of the objective is 20 cm. The focal length of the eyepiece is 5 cm. Calculate the magnitude of the angular magnification of the telescope.

Answer 1

Answer:

the magnitude of the angular magnification of the telescope. is 4

Explanation:

Calculate the magnitude of the angular magnification of the telescope.

Given that,

distance = 25cm

focal length from the objective f₀ = 20cm

focal length from eye piece f₁ = 5cm

The angular magnification of the telescope is

$M = \frac{f_0}{f_1}$

Magnification = 20 / 5

magnification = 4

Hence, the magnitude of the angular magnification of the telescope. is 4
