The objective and eyepiece of an astronomical telescope are double convex lenses with refractive index $1.5$. When the telescope is adjusted to infinity, the separation between the two lenses is $16 \,cm$. If the space between the lenses is now filled with water and the telescope is again adjusted for infinity, then the present separation between the lenses is: (in $\,cm$)

In a terrestrial telescope,the focal length of the objective is $90\, cm$,the inverting lens is $5\, cm$,and the eye lens is $6\, cm$. If the final image is formed at $30\, cm$ from the eye lens,calculate the magnification.

When the diameter of the aperture of the objective of an astronomical telescope is increased,its

The focal lengths of the objective lens and the eye lens of a Galilean telescope are $30\, cm$ and $3.0\, cm$ respectively. The telescope produces a virtual,erect image of an object situated far away from it at the least distance of distinct vision from the eye lens. In this condition,the magnifying power of the Galilean telescope should be:

The astronomical telescope consists of an objective lens and an eye-piece. The focal length of the objective is:
