Solution

(a) Construction: The construction of terrestrial telescope is similar to the astronomical telescope. The only difference is that a third convex lens (Lr) called field lens or erecting lens is kept in between the objective and erecting lens is kept in between. The objective and erecting lens is fo+zf,
Where fo is the focal length of objective and fu the focal length of erecting lens. The eye lens can be shifted used the rack and pinion arrangement.
(b) Ray diagram:
(c) Derivation of magnifying power: As the object is situated far away, hence visual and formed on the objective is equal to the visual angle formed on the eyepiece.
As the angles α and β are very small, hence tanαα and tanββ.
m=βα=tanβtanααα and
In fig., tanα=PQOQ=PQOQ ........9i) tan
and tanβ=PQQO
Putting the values of tan α and tanβ in eqn. (i), we get
m=PQ/QOPQ/OQ
or m=PQQO×OQPQ=OQOQ
But, OQ=fo and OQ=ue
(By sign convention)
m=feue=feue ......(ii)
When image is formed infinity: ue=fe
m=fofe.
