The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down into two parts as per the question. ### Part (a): Determine the focal lengths of the telescope's objective and ocular. 1. **Understanding the Magnification Formula**: The angular magnification (M) of a Galilean telescope is given by the formula: \[ M = \frac{f_o}{f_e} \] where \( f_o \) is the focal length of the objective lens and \( f_e \) is the focal length of the ocular lens. 2. **Given Values**: We know that the magnification \( M = 10 \) (10-fold magnification) and the length of the telescope \( L = 45 \, \text{cm} \). 3. **Setting Up the Equation**: From the magnification formula, we can express the focal length of the objective in terms of the focal length of the ocular: \[ f_o = M \cdot f_e = 10 f_e \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 4. **Using the Length of the Telescope**: The length of the telescope when adjusted to infinity is given by: \[ L = f_o - f_e \] Substituting Equation 1 into this equation gives: \[ 45 = 10 f_e - f_e \] Simplifying this: \[ 45 = 9 f_e \] Therefore, we can find \( f_e \): \[ f_e = \frac{45}{9} = 5 \, \text{cm} \] 5. **Finding \( f_o \)**: Now substituting \( f_e \) back into Equation 1 to find \( f_o \): \[ f_o = 10 f_e = 10 \times 5 = 50 \, \text{cm} \] ### Summary of Part (a): - Focal length of the ocular lens \( f_e = 5 \, \text{cm} \) - Focal length of the objective lens \( f_o = 50 \, \text{cm} \) --- ### Part (b): Determine the distance the ocular should be displaced to adjust the telescope to a distance of 50 m. 1. **Using the Lens Formula**: We will use the lens formula for the objective lens: \[ \frac{1}{f_o} = \frac{1}{s_o} + \frac{1}{s_d} \] where \( s_o \) is the object distance and \( s_d \) is the image distance. 2. **Given Object Distance**: The object distance \( s_o \) is given as \( 50 \, \text{m} = 5000 \, \text{cm} \). 3. **Calculating the Image Distance**: Rearranging the lens formula gives: \[ s_d = \frac{s_o \cdot f_o}{s_o - f_o} \] Substituting the known values: \[ s_d = \frac{5000 \times 50}{5000 - 50} = \frac{250000}{4950} \approx 50.505 \, \text{cm} \] 4. **Finding the New Length of the Telescope**: The new length \( L' \) when adjusted to the distance of 50 m can be expressed as: \[ L' = s_d + f_e = 50.505 + 5 = 55.505 \, \text{cm} \] 5. **Calculating the Displacement**: The displacement \( \Delta L \) of the ocular is given by: \[ \Delta L = L' - L = 55.505 - 45 = 10.505 \, \text{cm} \] ### Summary of Part (b): - The ocular should be displaced by approximately \( 10.505 \, \text{cm} \) to adjust the telescope to the distance of \( 50 \, \text{m} \). ---
