A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length `144 cm` and an eye-piece of focal length `6.0 cm`. What is the magnifying power of the telescope ? What is the separation between the objective and the eye-piece ?

A

`0.75 cm`

B

`1.38 cm`

C

`1.0 m`

D

`1.5 m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

The separation between the objective and the eyepiece = Length of the telescope tube `f = f_(0) + f_(e)`
Here, `f_(0) = 144 cm, = 1.44 m, f_(e) = 6.0 cm = 0.06 m`
`:. F = 1.44 + 0.06 = 1.5 m`
