The ratio of the focal length of the objective to the focal length of the eyepiece is greater than one for Correct Answer A telescope

CONCEPT:

Microscope

Telescope

The microscope is used to see very small objects. For Ex. Amiba, Bacteria, etc.

The telescope is used to see astronomical objects. For Ex. Planets, Moons and Galaxies, etc.

The microscope consists of two convex lenses (Eyepiece and Objective) of different focal lengths.

The telescope also consists of two (Eyepiece and Objective) convex lenses of different focal lengths.

The focal length of the eyepiece is larger than the focal length of the objective for a microscope.

The focal length of the eyepiece is smaller than the focal length of the objective for a telescope.

 

EXPLANATION:

  • As the objective has a larger focal length than that of the eyepiece, so the ratio of the focal length of the objective to the focal length of the eyepiece is greater than one for a telescope.

  • The radius of the objective of the telescope is kept large so that more light can enter into the telescope so that the image appears brighter and clearer.
