Question: Q. 2. (i) Draw a labelled ray diagram of an astronomical telescope to show the image formation of a distant object. Write the main considerations required in selecting the objective and eyepiece lenses in order to have large magnifying power and high resolution of the telescope.

(ii) A compound microscope has an objective of focal length 1.25 cm and eyepiece of focal length 5 cm. A small object is kept at 2.5 cm from the objective. If the final image formed is at infinity, find the distance between the objective and the eyepiece.

Ans. (i) Try yourself, Similar to Q. 1, Short Answer Type Questions-II

Alternatively,

For a large magnifying power, fo should be large and fe should be small.

For a higher resolution, the diameter of the objective should be large.
