Answer:

Correct Answer: 75. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Given : Length of astronomical telescope

$(f_0+f_e)=44 cm$ and magnification $(\frac{f_0}{f_e})=10$.

From the given magnification, we find that $f_0=10 f_e$. Therefore, $10 f_e+f_e=44$ or $11 f_e=44$ or $f_e$ $=4$. And focal length of the objective $(f_0)=44-f_e=44-4=40 cm$.

In case if objective and eye lens of a telescope are interchanged, it will not behave as a microscope but object appears very small.
