The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the astronomical refractive telescope, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Focal length of the objective lens (F₀) = 20 m - Focal length of the eyepiece lens (Fₑ) = 2 cm = 0.02 m (conversion from cm to m) ### Step 2: Calculate the magnification (M) The magnification of a telescope is given by the formula: \[ M = \frac{F₀}{Fₑ} \] Substituting the values: \[ M = \frac{20 \, \text{m}}{0.02 \, \text{m}} \] \[ M = 1000 \] ### Step 3: Determine the length of the telescope (L) The length of the telescope is given by the sum of the focal lengths of the objective and the eyepiece: \[ L = F₀ + Fₑ \] Substituting the values: \[ L = 20 \, \text{m} + 0.02 \, \text{m} \] \[ L = 20.02 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 4: Determine the nature of the image formed In an astronomical telescope, the image formed is always inverted. Therefore, this statement is correct. ### Conclusion - Magnification (M) = 1000 (Option A is correct) - Length of the telescope (L) = 20.02 m (Option B is correct) - The image formed is inverted (Option C is correct) Thus, all statements are true, leading us to conclude that the answer is: **Option D: All of these.** ---

An astronomical telescope has an objective of focal length 20 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 4.0 cm. The telescope is focused to see an object 10 Km from the objective .The final image is formed at infinity. Find the length of the tube and the angular magnification produced by the telescope.

The figure shows a simple arrangement which works as an astronomical telescope. The arrangement consists of two convex lenses placed coaxially. The lens which faces a distant object is called the objective. It has a large aperture and a large focal length also. The second lens is closed to the observers eyes. It is called the eyepiece. It has a smaller aperture as compared to the objective. Its focal length is also small in comparison to objective. The objective forms a real image of a distant object. This image acts as the object for the eyepiece. The eye-piece may form its image at a large distance (oo) or at least distance of distinct vision (D = 25 cm). The magnifying power of the telescope is the ratio (-beta)/(alpha) . Maximum angular magnification is produced when the final image is at the least distance of distinct vision. A telescope has an objective of focal length 50 cm and an eye-piece of focal length 5 cm. The least distance of distinct vision is 25 cm. The telescope is adjusted for distinct vision and it is focussed on an object 200 cm away. The length of the telescope is
