Question 376: Ray Optics

Question

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

Accepted Answer

Magnifying power of microscope
m = $$\left( {{L \over {{f_0}}}} \right)\left( {{D \over {{f_e}}}} \right)$$
So if f
o
increases, then m will decrease.
Magnifying power of telescope, m = $$\left( {{{{f_0}} \over {{f_e}}}} \right)$$
So if f
o
increases, then m will increase.

Answer

microscope will increase but that of telescope decrease.
