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.
