The correct Answer is:
To find the relative difference of focal lengths of the objective and eye lens in a microscope and telescope, we will break down the problem step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Focal Lengths**: - Let \( f_o^T \) be the focal length of the objective lens in the telescope. - Let \( f_e^T \) be the focal length of the eye lens in the telescope. - Let \( f_o^M \) be the focal length of the objective lens in the microscope. - Let \( f_e^M \) be the focal length of the eye lens in the microscope. 2. **Determine the Differences**: - For the telescope, the difference in focal lengths is given by: \[ \Delta f^T = f_o^T - f_e^T \] - For the microscope, the difference in focal lengths is given by: \[ \Delta f^M = f_o^M - f_e^M \] 3. **Analyze the Focal Lengths**: - In both cases (telescope and microscope), the focal length of the objective lens is greater than that of the eye lens: \[ f_o^T > f_e^T \quad \text{and} \quad f_o^M > f_e^M \] - Therefore, both differences \( \Delta f^T \) and \( \Delta f^M \) are positive. 4. **Compare the Focal Lengths**: - The focal length of the objective lens in a telescope is generally larger than that in a microscope because telescopes are designed to view distant objects (like stars), requiring longer focal lengths. - Thus, we can conclude: \[ f_o^T > f_o^M \] 5. **Conclude the Relative Difference**: - Since \( f_o^T > f_o^M \) and both \( \Delta f^T \) and \( \Delta f^M \) are positive, we can say: \[ \Delta f^T > \Delta f^M \] - Therefore, the relative difference of the focal lengths of the objective and eye lens in the telescope is greater than that in the microscope. ### Final Statement: The relative difference in focal lengths of the objective and eye lens in a telescope is greater than that in a microscope: \[ \Delta f^T > \Delta f^M \]
