Question
What is the angular magnification of a telescope that has a 100 cm focal length objective and a 2.50 cm focal length eyepiece?
Step 1
Step 1: The formula for the angular magnification (M) of a telescope is given by: \[ M = - \frac{f_{o}}{f_{e}} \] where \(f_{o}\) is the focal length of the objective lens and \(f_{e}\) is the focal length of the eyepiece. Show more…

What is the angular magnification of a telescope that has a 100 cm focal length objectives and a 2.50 cm focal length eyepiece?
The objective lens of an astronomical telescope forms an image of a distant object at the focal point of the eyepiece, which has a focal length of $5.0 \mathrm{cm} .$ If the two lenses are $45.0 \mathrm{cm}$ apart, what is the angular magnification?
