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. \(\frac{L}{l}\)
