An astronomical telescope in normal adjustment has an objective of focal length 100 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5 cm. Its angular magnification is

A100
B5
C20
D500
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 20
1. Normal adjustment: image at infinity, m = f_o / f_e. 2. m = 100 / 5 = 20. 3. (D) confuses m with f_o × f_e. _Source: syllabus Physics Part II, Ch 9 §9.7.2_
