In an astronomical telescope, the focal length of the objective lens is \(100\) cm and of the eyepiece is \(2\) cm. The magnifying power of the telescope for the normal eye is:

1. \(50\) 2. \(10\)
3. \(100\) 4. \(\dfrac{1}{50}\)

To increase the magnifying power of a telescope:

1.  The focal length of the eyepiece should be increased.
2. The focal length of the objective should be increased.
3. The wavelength of light should be increased.
4. The aperture of the eyepiece should be increased.

In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment a straight black line of length \(L\) is drawn on inside part of the objective lens. The eye-piece forms a real image of this line. The length of this image is \(l\). The magnification of the telescope is:
1. \(\frac{L}{l}+1\)
2. \(\frac{L}{l}-1\)
3. \(\frac{L+1}{l-1}\)
4. \(\frac{L}{l}\)
