A telescope has an objective lens of focal length \(150\,\,cm\) and an eyepiece of focal length \(5 \,\,cm.\) If a \(50\,\,m\) tall tower at a distance of \(1\,\,km\) is observed through this telescope in normal setting, the angle formed by the image of the tower is \(\theta \), then \(\theta \) is close to.....\(^o\)

  1. A \(30\)
  2. B \(15\)
  3. C \(60\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(30\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnifying power of telescope, \(M P=\frac{\tan \beta( \text { angle subtended by image at eye piece) } }{\tan \alpha \text { (angle subtended by object on objective) }}\) Also, \(M P =\frac{f_{o}}{f_{e}}=\frac{150}{5}=30\)…
