A telescope, consisting of two lenses, has an angular magnification of absolute value 132.9 and an objective lens with refractive power 0.1835 D. What is the refractive power of the eyepiece of the telescope? (Give your answer in diopters.)
Solution
Given that:
Angular magnification M =132.9
The objective lens refractive power Fo=0.1835 diopter
The eyepiece refractive power Fe= ?
So, we have
M=Fe/Fo
132.9= Fe / 0.1835
Fe=132.9 * 0.185
Fe= 24.387 diopters
Therefore, The refractive power of the eyepiece is Fe=24.387 diopters
