How does magnifying power change with change in length of tube for a given telescope ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For a telescope, magnifying power
`|m| = (f_(0))/(f_(e)) = (f_(0))/(u_(e))`,
and `L = (f_(0) + u_(e))`
In a telescope, `f_(0)` is fixed. When `L` is increased, `u_(e)` increases. Hence magnifying power will decrease.
