Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

  1. If the focal length of objective lens is increased then magnefying power of :
    1. microscope will increase but that of telescope decrease.
    2. microscope and telescope both will increase.
    3. microscope and telescope both will decrease
    4. microscope will decrease but that of telescope increase.
Correct Option: D

Magnifying power of microscope

=
LD
1
fef0f0

​Hence with increase f0 magnifyig power of microscope decreases. ​
Magnifying power of telescope =
f0
∝ f0
fe

Hence with increase f0 magnifying power of telescope increases.
