If the focal length of an objective lens is decreased, then the magnifying power of :

  1. A the microscope will increase but that of the telescope will decrease
  2. B both the microscope and the telescope will increase
  3. C both the microscope and the telescope will decrease
  4. D the microscope will decrease but that of the telescope will increase
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) the microscope will increase but that of the telescope will decrease

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Microscope magnifying power: \( M \propto \frac{1}{f_o} \) If \( f_o \) decreases, \( M_{micro} \) increases. Telescope magnifying power: \( M = \frac{f_o}{f_e} \) If \( f_o \) decreases, \( M_{tele} \) decreases. The microscope will increase but that of the telescope will…
