An obsever looks at a distant tree of height 10m with a telescope of magnifying power of 20. to the observer the tree appears:

A

10 times taller

B

10 times nearer

C

20 times taller

D

20 times nearer

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`m=20, m=(f_(0))/(f_(e))`
`h_(1)=10m, h_(2)=?`
`m=(h_(2))/(h_(1))=(h_(2))/(10)`
`20=(h_(2))/(10)`
`h_(2)=20xx10m=200m`
Image is 20 times enlarged through the telescope.
