In a laboratory four convex lenses L1 ,L2 , L3 and L4 of focal lengths 2, 4, 6 and 8 cm,respectively are available. Two of these lenses form a telescope of length 10 cm and magnifying power 4. The objective and eye lenses are respectively

  • L2 , L3

  • L1, L4

  • L1 , L2

  • L4 , L1

Solution

D.

L4 , L1

Length of tube = 10 cm

            fo + fe = 10 cm

Momentum m = fofe = 4

             fo   = 4 fe

Putting in eqn (i),

            5fe = 10 cm

⇒            f = 2 cm

       and fo = 8 cm

⇒            fo = 8 cm, fe = 2 cm

Hence Land L1 will be used.
