A simple telescope used to view distant objects has eyepiece and objective lens of focal lengths and , respectively. Then
Column IColumn II
(A) Intensity of light received by lens(P) Radius of aperture (R)
(B) Angular magnification(Q) Dispersion of lens
(C) Length of telescope(R) focal length
(D) Sharpness of image(S) spherical aberration

Answer: A → I, B → III, C → III, D → I, D → II, D → IV

Solution

(A) Intensity of light received: Depends on the area of the aperture, which is proportional to . Matches (P).

(B) Angular magnification: For a telescope, . Matches (R).

(C) Length of telescope: For normal adjustment, . Matches (R).

(D) Sharpness of image: Affected by aperture size (larger aperture gives better resolution), chromatic aberration (dispersion), and spherical aberration. Matches (P), (Q), and (S).

Pairs: (A)→(P), (B)→(R), (C)→(R), (D)→(P),(Q),(S)
