1. Draw the ray diagram of an astronomical telescope when the final image is formed at infinity. Write the expression for the resolving power of the telescope.
  2. An astronomical telescope has an objective lens of focal length 20m and eyepiece of focal length 1cm.
  1. Find the angular magnification of the telescope.
  2. If this telescope is used to view the Moon, find the diameter of the image formed by the objective lens. Given the diameter of the Moon is $3.5 \times 10^6m$ and radius of lunar orbit is $3.8 \times 10^8m.$

$\tan\alpha=\frac{\text{d}_0}{\text{u}}=\frac{\text{di}}{\text{f}_0}$
$\Rightarrow\text{d}_1=\frac{3.5\times10^6}{3.8\times10^8}\times20=0.18\text{m}$

    An eye can distinguish between two points of an object if they are separated by more than 0.22mm when the object is placed at 25cm from the eye. The object is now seen by a compound microscope having a 20D objective and 10D eyepiece separated by a distance of 20cm. The final image is formed at 25cm from the eye. What is the minimum separation between two points of the object which can now be distinguished?
