The magnifying power of an refracting type of astronomical telescope is 'm'. If focal
length of the eyepiece is doubled, the magnifying power will become

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{n}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnifying power \(\mathrm{m}=\frac{\mathrm{f}_{0}}{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}}\)
If \(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}\) is doubled, the magnifying power becomes half.
