Question 32. An observer looks m ti distant tree of height 10 m with a of 20, To the observer the tree telescope of magnifying power appears
- 10 times taller
- 10 times nearer
- 20 times taller
- 20 times nearer
Answer: 3. 20 times taller
As the tree Is situated at a large distance, the rays coming from It may be taken as parallel. I fence, It can be considered that the tree Is situated at Infinity. In the case of focusing for Infinity, the final Image Is formed at Infinity. Now magnifying power
m = \(\frac{\text { height of the image }}{\text { height of the object }}\)
= 20
Hence, the tree appears 20 times taller

Question 34. An astronomical telescope has an objective and eyepiece of focal lengths of 40 cm and 4 cm respectively. To view 200 cm away from the objective, the lenses separated by a distance
- 46 cm
- 50 cm
- 54cm
- 37.3 cm
Answer: 3. 54cm
The focal length of the objective, fo = 40 cm, the focal length of the eyepiece, fe =4cm, and the distance of the objective
Objective, uo = -200 an.
Let, the distance of the image from the objective = vo
∴ \(\frac{1}{v_o}-\frac{1}{u_o}=\frac{1}{f_o}\)
or, \(\frac{1}{v_o}+\frac{1}{200}=\frac{1}{40}\)
or, \(\frac{1}{v_0}=\frac{1}{40}-\frac{1}{200}\)
Or, vo = 50 cm
If the distance between the eyepiece and the image formed by the tire objective is ue, the distance of the tire objective from the image
Is ve and the Image Is formed at Infinity
⇒ \(\frac{1}{v_e}-\frac{1}{u_e}=\frac{1}{f_e}\)
Or, \(\frac{1}{\infty}-\frac{1}{u_e}=\frac{1}{4}\)
u = – 4 cm
Therefore, the distance between the eyepiece and the objective, L =\(\left|v_o\right|+\left|u_{\mathrm{f}}\right|\)
= 50+ 4 = 54 cm
Question 35. A person has a near point at 60cm. The focal length of spectacles lenses to read at 22cm having glasses separated 2 cm from the eye is
- 40 cm
- 10cm
- 20 cm
- 30 cm
Answer: 4. 30 cm
Distance of the object from lens, u = -(22-2) = -20cm Image distance, v = -60cm
⇒ \(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=-\frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{20}=\frac{1}{30}\)
Hence, f = 30cm
