With a neat ray diagram, describe the principle, working and use of an astronomical telescope.

HARD
IMPORTANT

What is mean by the normal setting of an astronomical telescope? How its magnifying power differs when it is set with the final image at the near point?

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

A telescope has an objective of focal length 50 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5 cm. It is focussed for distinct vision on a scale 200 cm away from the objective. Then the optical length of the telescope is (Take least distance of distinct vision to be 25 cm)
