Consider a refracting telescope whose objective has a focal length of 1 m and the eyepiece has a focal length of 1 cm , then the magnifying power of this telescope will be ________ .

  1. A 1
  2. B 50
  3. C 200
  4. D 100
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 100

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(D) 100
Focal length of objective \(f_{0}=1 \mathrm{~m}\) \(=100 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Focal length of eyepiece \(f_{e}=1 \mathrm{~cm}\) Magnifying power of telescope \(m=\frac{f_{0}}{f_{e}}\)
\(m=\frac{100}{1}\)
\(m=100\)
