If the focal length of objective lens is increased then magnifying power of

A

Microscope and telescope both will decrease

B

Microscope will decrease but that of telescope will increase

C

Microscope will increase but that of telescope decrease

D

Microscope and telescope both will increase

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`(m)_("microscope") = (L)/(f_(0) (1 + (D)/(f_(e)) ) `
`(m)_("telescope" = (f_(0))/(f_(e)) (1 + (f_(e))/(D))`.
