PHY 104 MICROSCOPE Objective Question

Question

The angular magnification (M) of a telescope is given by which formula?
Options
A M = f₁(objective) + f₂(eyepiece)
B M = f₁(objective) / f₂(eyepiece)
C M = -f₁(objective) / f₂(eyepiece)
Correct Answer
D M = f₂(eyepiece) / f₁(objective)
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text explicitly states, 'The angular magnification M of a telescope is the ratio of the focal length of the objective to that of the eyepiece. M = -f₁ (objective) / f₂ (eyepiece)'.

Hint

Locate the formula for the angular magnification of a telescope in the 'Telescopes' section.
