Question 8 (Choice 2) A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 140 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5.0 cm. Find the magnifying power of the telescope for viewing distant objects when the telescope is in normal adjustment, In normal adjustment : Magnifying power m = 𝑓_0/𝑓_𝑒 = (140/5) = 28 Question 8 (Choice 2) A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 140 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5.0 cm. Find the magnifying power of the telescope for viewing distant objects when (ii) the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision. When the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision (25 cm) m = 𝑓_0/𝑓_𝑒 (1+𝑓_𝑒/𝐷) = (28×1.2) = 33.6
