The objective and eyepiece of an astronomical telescope are double convex lenses with refractive index 1.5. When the telescope is adjusted to infinity, the separation between the two lenses is \(16 \mathrm{~cm}\). If the space between the lenses is now filled with water and again telescope is adjusted for infinity, then the present separation between the lenses is

  1. A \(8 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  2. B \(16 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  3. C \(24 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  4. D \(32 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(32 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the lens maker formula \(\begin{array}{cc} & \frac{\mu_3}{v}-\frac{\mu_1}{u}=\frac{\mu_2-\mu_1}{R_1}+\frac{\mu_3-\mu_2}{R_2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad & \frac{4}{3 f_o{ }^{\prime}}-\frac{1}{\infty}=\frac{1.5-1}{R}+\frac{\frac{4}{3}-1.5}{-R} \\ f_o{ }^{\prime}=R=2 f\end{array}\)…
