(1) \(6 \mathrm{~cm}\)

(2) \(6.3 \mathrm{~cm}\)

(3) \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\)

(4) \(60 \mathrm{~cm}\)


Q.167 An observer looks at a tree of height \(15 m\) with a telescope of magnifying power 10 . To him, the tree appears

(1) 10 times taller

(2) 15 times taller

(3) 10 times nearer

(4) 15 times nearer


Q.168 The magnification produced by an astronomical telescope for normal adjustment is 10 and the length of the telescope is \(1.1 \mathrm{~m}\). The magnification when the image is formed at least distance of distinct vision \((D\) \(=25 \mathrm{~cm})\) is

(1) 14

(2) 6

(3) 16

(4) 18


Q.169 The objective of a telescope has a focal length of \(1.2 \mathrm{~m}\). it is used to view a \(10.0 \mathrm{~m}\) tall tower \(2 \mathrm{~km}\) away. What is the height of the image of the tower formed by the objective

(1) \(2 \mathrm{~mm}\)

(2) \(4 \mathrm{~mm}\)

(3) \(6 \mathrm{~mm}\)

(4) \(8 \mathrm{~mm}\) Q.170 An eye-piece of a telescope with a magnification of 100 has a power of 20 diopters. The object of this telescope has a power of

(1) 2 diopters

(2) 0.2 diopters

(3) 2000 diopters

(4) 20 diopters


Q.171 A Galilean telescope measures \(9 \mathrm{~cm}\) from the objective to the eye-piece. The focal length of the objective is \(15 \mathrm{~cm}\). Its magnifying power is

(1) 2.5

(2) \(2 / 5\)

(3) \(5 / 3\)

(4) 0.4


Q.172 For seeing a cricket match, we prefer binoculars to the terrestrial telescope, because

(1) Binoculars give three-dimensional view

(2) Terrestrial telescope gives inverted image

(3) To avoid chromatic aberration

(4) To have larger magnification


Q.173 A simple two lens telescope has an objective of focal length \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\) and an eye-piece of \(2.5 \mathrm{~cm}\). The telescope is pointed at an object at a very large distance which subtends at an angle of 1 milliradian on the naked eye. The eye piece is adjusted so that the final virtual image is formed at infinity. The size of the real image formed by the objective is

(1) \(5 \mathrm{~mm}\)

(2) \(1 \mathrm{~mm}\)

(3) \(0.5 \mathrm{~mm}\)

(4) \(0.1 \mathrm{~mm}\)


Q.174 The objective of a telescope, after focussing for infinity is taken out and a slit of length \(L\) is placed in its position. A sharp image of the slit is formed by the eye-piece at a certain distance from it on the other side. The length of this image is \(l\), then magnification of telescope is

(1) \(\frac{l}{2 L}\)

(2) \(\frac{2 L}{l}\)

(3) \(\frac{l}{L}\)

(4) \(\frac{L}{l}\)
