Given:-
- Objective Focal length ,fo = 100 cm
- Focal length of eyepiece ,fe = 4 cm
To Find:-
- Magnification ,m
Solution:-
We have to calculate the Magnification of the telescope .
Using Formula
• m = fo/fe
where,
fo denotes objective focal length
fe denotes focal length of eyepiece
m is the Magnification of telescope
Substitute the value we get
→ m = 100/4
→ m = 25 cm
Therefore,the magnification of the telescope is 25 cm.
Hence, the required option is (B) 25 cm.
