If the focal length of the objective lens is increased then

A

microscope will increase but that of telescope decrease

B

microscope and telescope, both will increase.

C

microscope and telescope both will decrease

D

microscope will decrease, but that of telescope will increase.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

For microscope, `M = (v_0)/(-u_0) (1 + (d)/(f_e))`
and for telescope, `M = (f_0)/(f_e)(1 + (f_e)/(d))`
When we increase `f_e : M` for microscope decreases and `M` for telescope increases.
