(a) Draw a labelled ray diagram to obtain the real image formed by an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment position. Define its magnifying power.
(b) You are given three lenses of power 0.5 D , D and 10 D to design a telescope.
(i) Which lenses should he used as objective and eyepiece? Justify your answer.
(ii) Why is the aperture of the objective prefered to be large?
Magnification =
b) (i) objective = 5D
eye piece = 10 D
The choice gives high magnification
ii) The aperture of the objective is made larger to collect sufficient light to form a bright image of the distance object
