Q 9.28  A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 140cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5.0cm. What is the magnifying power of the telescope for viewing distant objects when

Given,

the focal length of the objective lens f_{objective}=140cm

the focal length of the eyepiece lens f_{eyepiece}=5cm

normally, least distance of vision = 25cm

Now,

as we know magnifying power when the image is at d = 25 cm is

m=\frac{f_{objective}}{f_{eyepiece}}(1+\frac{f_{eyepiece}}{d})=\frac{140}{5}(1+\frac{5}{25}) = 33.6

Hence magnification, in this case, is 33.6.
