The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will calculate the magnifying power of the telescope in two different scenarios: when the final image is at infinity and when the final image is at 25 cm from the eye. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Given:** - Focal length of the objective lens (F_O) = 20 cm - Focal length of the eyepiece lens (F_E) = 5 cm #### Case (i): Final Image at Infinity 1. **Formula for Magnifying Power (M)**: The magnifying power of a telescope when the final image is at infinity is given by: \[ M = -\frac{F_O}{F_E} \] 2. **Substituting the values**: \[ M = -\frac{20 \text{ cm}}{5 \text{ cm}} = -4 \] 3. **Conclusion**: The magnifying power when the final image is at infinity is -4. #### Case (ii): Final Image at 25 cm from the Eye 1. **Formula for Magnifying Power (M)**: The magnifying power when the final image is at a distance D (25 cm in this case) from the eye is given by: \[ M = -\frac{F_O}{F_E} \left(1 + \frac{F_E}{D}\right) \] 2. **Substituting the values**: - Here, D = 25 cm \[ M = -\frac{20 \text{ cm}}{5 \text{ cm}} \left(1 + \frac{5 \text{ cm}}{25 \text{ cm}}\right) \] 3. **Calculating the fraction**: \[ \frac{5 \text{ cm}}{25 \text{ cm}} = \frac{1}{5} \] Therefore, \[ M = -4 \left(1 + \frac{1}{5}\right) = -4 \left(\frac{5}{5} + \frac{1}{5}\right) = -4 \left(\frac{6}{5}\right) \] 4. **Final calculation**: \[ M = -\frac{24}{5} = -4.8 \] 5. **Conclusion**: The magnifying power when the final image is at 25 cm from the eye is -4.8. ### Summary of Results: - Magnifying power when the final image is at infinity: **-4** - Magnifying power when the final image is at 25 cm from the eye: **-4.8**

To solve the problem, we will calculate the magnifying power of the telescope in two different scenarios: when the final image is at infinity and when the final image is at 25 cm from the eye. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Given:** - Focal length of the objective lens (F_O) = 20 cm - Focal length of the eyepiece lens (F_E) = 5 cm ...
