Q 1 :    

A microscope has an objective of focal length 2 cm, eyepiece of focal length 4 cm and the tube length of 40 cm. If the distance of distinct vision of eye is 25 cm, the magnification in the microscope is                 [2025]

  • 150

     

  • 250

     

  • 100

     

  • 125

     

(4)

Focal length of objective lens, fo=2cm

Focal length of eyepiece lens, fe=4cm

Distance of distinct vision, D=25cm

         m=Lf0×Dfe=402×254

         m=125



Q 2 :    

A small telescope has an objective of focal length 140 cm and an eye piece of focal length 5.0 cm. The magnifying power of telescope for viewing a distant object is    [2024]

  • 34

     

  • 28

     

  • 17

     

  • 32

     

(2)

Given, f0=140cm  and  fe=5.0cm

Magnifying power of a telescope, M=f0fe    M=1405.0=28



Q 3 :    

A lens of large focal length and large aperture is best suited as an objective of an astronomical telescope since           [2021]

  • a large aperture contributes to the quality and visibility of the images.

     

  • a large area of the objective ensures better light gathering power.

     

  • a large aperture provides a better resolution.

     

  • all of the above.   

     

(4)

As the focal length is large, so it enhances the magnifying power of telescope. The large aperture or diameter of lens helps in collecting large amount of light from the object so that the image formed is bright.

The resolving power of telescope is

            R.P.=D1.22λ

where, D is diameter or aperture of lens and λ is wavelength of light used.

So, all options are correct.



Q 4 :    

An astronomical telescope has objective and eyepiece of focal lengths 40 cm and 4 cm respectively. To view an object 200 cm away from the objective, the lenses must be separated by a distance           [2016]

  • 50.0 cm

     

  • 54.0 cm 

     

  • 37.3 cm

     

  • 46.0 cm

     

(2)

Here fo=40cm, fe=4cm

Tube length (l) = Distance between lenses = vo+fe

For objective lens,

       uo=-200cm,  vo= ?

       1vo-1uo=1fo  or  1vo-1-200=140

or    1vo=140-1200=4200    vo=50cm

  l=50+4=54cm



Q 5 :    

In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment a straight black line of length L is drawn on inside part of objective lens. The eye-piece forms a real image of this line. The length of this image is l. The magnification of the telescope is                 [2015]

  • L+IL-I

     

  • LI

     

  • LI+1

     

  • LI-1

     

(2)

For eye-piece lens,

m=ff+u=h1h0fefe-(fo+fe)=IL

fofe=-LI=Magnification of the telescope



Q 6 :    

If the focal length of objective lens is increased then magnifying power of              [2014]

  • microscope will increase but that of telescope decrease

     

  • microscope and telescope both will increase

     

  • microscope and telescope both will decrease

     

  • microscope will decrease but that of telescope will increase

     

(4)

Magnifying power of a microscope,

         m=(Lfo)(Dfe)

where fo and fe are the focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece respectively, and L is the distance between their focal points and D is the least distance of distinct vision.

If fo increases, then m will decrease.

Magnifying power of a telescope, m=fofe

where fo and fe are the focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece respectively.

If fo increases, then m will increase.
