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

  • A
    $L/I$
  • B
    $L/I + 1$
  • C
    $L/I - 1$
  • D
    $(L+I)/(L-I)$

The focal length of an objective of a telescope is $3 \ m$ and its diameter is $15 \ cm$. Assuming that for a normal eye,the diameter of the pupil is $3 \ mm$ for its complete use,the focal length of the eyepiece must be: (in $cm$)

$A$ telescope has an objective lens of focal length $200 \, cm$ and an eyepiece with focal length $2 \, cm$. If this telescope is used to see a $50 \, m$ tall building at a distance of $2 \, km$,what is the height of the image of the building formed by the objective lens in $cm$?

If an astronomical telescope has objective and eye-piece focal lengths of $200 \; cm$ and $4 \; cm$ respectively,then the magnifying power of the telescope for normal vision is:
