The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and apply the relevant formulas for an astronomical telescope. ### Step 1: Identify the Given Information - Focal length of the eyepiece (Fe) = 10 cm - Length of the telescope (L) = 1 m = 100 cm ### Step 2: Relate the Focal Lengths to the Length of the Telescope For an astronomical telescope, the relationship between the focal lengths of the objective lens (Fo) and the eyepiece (Fe) and the length of the telescope (L) is given by the equation: \[ L = Fo + Fe \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the Equation to Find Fo We can rearrange the equation to solve for the focal length of the objective lens (Fo): \[ Fo = L - Fe \] ### Step 4: Substitute the Known Values Now, substitute the known values into the equation: \[ Fo = 100 \, \text{cm} - 10 \, \text{cm} \] \[ Fo = 90 \, \text{cm} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Magnifying Power of the Telescope The magnifying power (M) of an astronomical telescope is given by the formula: \[ M = \frac{Fo}{Fe} \] ### Step 6: Substitute the Focal Lengths into the Magnifying Power Formula Now, substitute the values of Fo and Fe into the magnifying power formula: \[ M = \frac{90 \, \text{cm}}{10 \, \text{cm}} \] \[ M = 9 \] ### Final Answers - Focal length of the objective lens (Fo) = 90 cm - Magnifying power of the telescope (M) = 9 ---
