The magnifying power of a refracting type of astronomical telescope is ' \(\mathrm{m}\) '. If focal length of eyepiece is doubled then the magnifying power will become

  1. A \(\mathrm{m}\)
  2. B \(2 \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnifying power, \(m=\frac{f_o}{f_e}\)
If \(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}\) is doubled, the magnifying power will become \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{2}\)
