Question

In the angular magnification formula for a telescope, M = -f₁(objective) / f₂(eyepiece), what do f₁ and f₂ specifically represent?
Options
A f₁ is the focal length of the eyepiece, f₂ is the focal length of the objective.
B f₁ is the focal length of the objective, f₂ is the focal length of the eyepiece.
Correct Answer
C f₁ is the object distance, f₂ is the image distance.
D f₁ and f₂ are both focal lengths of compound lenses.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The formula is explicitly given as M = - f₁(objective) / f₂(eyepiece), indicating f₁ refers to the objective's focal length and f₂ to the eyepiece's.

Hint

Pay close attention to the subscripts and parenthetical labels in the telescope magnification formula.
