Q. In Gallilean telescope, if the powers of an objective and eye lens are respectively $+ 1.25\ D$ and $- 20\ D$, then for relaxed vision, the length and magnification will be

A) 21.25 $cm$ and 16
B) 75 $cm$ and 20
C) 75 $cm$ and 16
D) 8.5 $cm$ and 21.25
Explanation

(c) $f_{o} = \frac{1}{1.25} = 0.8\ m$ and $f_{e} = \frac{1}{- 20} = - 0.05\ m$
$\therefore\left| L_{\infty} \right| = \left| f_{o} \right| - \left| f_{e} \right| = 0.8 - 0.05 = 0.75m = 75\ cm$
and $\left| m_{\infty} \right| = \frac{f_{o}}{f_{e}} = \frac{0.8}{0.05} = 16$
