A telescope has an objective lens of focal length `200cm` and an eye piece with focal length `2cm`. If this telescope is used to see a 50 meter tall building at a distance of `2km,` what is the height of the image of the building formed by the objective lens?

A

`5 cm`

B

`10 cm`

C

`1cm`

D

`2cm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Magnification of objective lens `m=(I)/(O)=(v_(o))/(u_(o))=(f_(o))/(u_(o))`
`implies(I)/(50)=(200xx10^(-2))/(2xx10^(3))impliesI=5xx10^(-2)m=5cm.`
