The focal lengths of the objective and eye lenses of a telescope are respectively $200 \, cm$ and $5 \, cm$. The maximum magnifying power of the telescope will be:

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 $l$. The magnification of the telescope is

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 $\,cm$)
