    A Galilean telescope has an objective of focal length 100 cm and magnifying power 50. The distance between the two lenses in normal adjustment will be:

    A)  98 cm                                  

    B)         100 cm

    C)         150 cm                                

    D)         200 cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In Galilean telescope a convergent lens is used as the objective and a divergent lens as the eye piece. Magnifying power and length of telescope are written as: \[M=\frac{{{f}_{o}}}{{{u}_{e}}}\] and                        \[L={{f}_{o}}-{{u}_{e}}\] In normal adjustment, i.e., in relaxed eye state \[{{u}_{e}}={{f}_{e}}\] So,\[{{M}_{\infty }}=\frac{{{f}_{o}}}{{{f}_{e}}}=50\]or \[{{f}_{e}}=\frac{{{f}_{o}}}{50}=\frac{100}{50}=2\,cm\] and        \[{{L}_{\infty }}={{f}_{o}}-{{f}_{e}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{L}_{\infty }}=100-2=98\,cm\]
