The magnifying power of a refracting type of astronomical telescope is ' $\mathrm{m}$ '. If focal length of eyepiece is doubled then the magnifying power will become
  1. $\mathrm{m}$
  2. $2 \mathrm{~m}$
  3. $\frac{\mathrm{m}}{2}$
  4. $\frac{\mathrm{m}}{4}$

Solution

Magnifying power, $m=\frac{f_o}{f_e}$ If $\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}$ is doubled, the magnifying power will become $\frac{\mathrm{m}}{2}$
