An astronomical telescope uses two lenses of powers 10 D and 1 D.Its magnifying power in normal adjustment would be:

EASY
IMPORTANT

Draw a schematic labelled ray diagram of a reflecting type telescope and The objective of a telescope is of larger focal length and of larger aperture (compared to the eyepiece). Why? Give reasons.

EASY
IMPORTANT

State the conditions for the phenomenon of total internal reflection to occur. 

EASY
IMPORTANT

Draw a ray diagram of reflecting type telescope and hence given the advantage of reflecting type telescope.

EASY
IMPORTANT

Draw a labelled ray diagram of a reflecting telescope. Mention its two advantages over the refracting telescope.

EASY
IMPORTANT

An astronomical telescope has a converging eye-piece of focal length 5 cm and objective of focal length 80 cm. When the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision (25 cm), the separation between the two lenses is

EASY
IMPORTANT

In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment, a straight black line of length L is drawn on the objective lens. The eyepiece forms a real image of this line. The length of this image is Z

EASY
IMPORTANT

The focal length of an objective of a telescope is 3 meter and diameter 15 cm. Assuming for a normal eye, the diameter of the pupil is 3 mm for its complete use, the focal length of eye piece must be

EASY
IMPORTANT

An astronomical telescope has a converging eyepiece of focal length 5 cm and an objective of focal length 80 cm . When the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision25 cm, the separation between the two lenses is

IMPORTANT

Assertion : In an astronomical telescope, the objective lens has more aperture diameter

Reason : If we increase the focus distance of the objective lens, the magnification power of the telescope increases
