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

When we view object of height 15 m with a telescop of magnifying power 10. the object appears _____

The focal length of the objective of an astronomical telescope is 1.0 m. If the magnifying power of the telescope is 20, find the focal length of the eyepiece and the length of the telescope for the relaxed eye.

An observer at a distance of 10 m from a tree looks at the top of the tree , the angle of elevation is 60^(@) . What is the height of the tree ? ( sqrt(3) = 1 .73 )

At a given point of time, the heights of trees are in proportion to the lengths of the shadows of the trees. A tree of height 25.6 m casts a shadow of 32 m. if the shadow of another tree at that point of time is 48m, then find the height of that tree.
