The magnification, or power, at which a telescope is operating is a function of the focal length of the telescope's main (objective) lens (or primary mirror) and the focal length of the eyepiece employed.
A telescope consists of two lenses. 1) The main lens which collects the light ( it is relatively bigger that eyepiece). 2) Eye piece , through which we see. Magnification of a telescope depends on the focal length of the eye piece and the main lens. Magnification = Focal length of the main lens / Focal length of the eyepiece . For example : If the focal length of the main lens is 12 units and the focal length of the eyepiece is 2 units , then the magnification will be 12/2 = 6.When the focal length of the main lens is constant , the focal length of the eyepiece is inversely proportional to the magnification.
A refracting telescope uses lenses to bend and focus light, which magnifies distant objects by making them appear closer and larger. The objective lens gathers and focuses light, while the eyepiece lens further magnifies the image for the viewer to see.
In photography, the brightness or darkness of light can change based on the objective or lens used. Typically, a lens with a wider aperture (lower f-number) allows more light to enter, resulting in brighter images. Conversely, a lens with a smaller aperture (higher f-number) restricts light, making images darker. Additionally, the focal length can affect exposure; longer focal lengths may require adjustments to maintain brightness.
The best telescope lens for capturing detailed images of the moon is a high-quality refractor lens with a large aperture, typically around 100mm or larger. This type of lens provides sharp and clear images with high resolution, allowing you to see fine details on the moon's surface.
Yes, the numerical aperture of an objective lens is influenced by both its focal length and the refractive index of the medium it is used in. A higher numerical aperture typically corresponds to a shorter focal length, allowing for greater resolution and light-gathering ability.
The formula for light gathering power for telescopes is proportional to the square of the diameter of the objective lens (or mirror) of the telescope. This can be calculated using the formula: Light gathering power = (Diameter of objective lens)^2.
The magnification of the telescope image is(focal length of the objective) divided by (focal length of the eyepiece).The focal length of the objective is fixed.Decreasing the focal length of the eyepiece increases the magnification of the image.(But it also makes the image dimmer.)

The formula for calculating the angular magnification of a telescope is: Magnification focal length of the objective lens / focal length of the eyepiece.
The magnification of the telescope image is(focal length of the objective) divided by (focal length of the eyepiece).The focal length of the objective is fixed.Decreasing the focal length of the eyepiece increases the magnification of the image.(But it also makes the image dimmer.)
The small aperture and focal length of a microscope objective allow for high resolution and magnification by increasing light-gathering ability and minimizing aberrations. A small aperture increases depth of field and improves contrast, while a short focal length reduces spherical aberration and increases optical performance.
The objective lens in a refracting telescope typically has a shorter focal length compared to the eyepiece lens. This is because a shorter focal length allows for higher magnification and better light gathering capabilities.
The magnification, or power, at which a telescope is operating is a function of the focal length of the telescope's main (objective) lens (or primary mirror) and the focal length of the eyepiece employed.
The magnification of a telescope M is the the focal length of the objective Fo over the focal length of the eyepiece Fe so increasing the focal length of the objective increases the magnification. The magnification of a microscope M is approximately tube length L/Fo x 25/Fe. Therefore increasing the focal length of the objective reduces the magnification.
The focal ratio ( 'f' number ) is the ratio of focal length to diameter. For the numbers given in the question, assuming they're both in the same unit, this telescope is a 25/5 = f/5.
The focal length of a telescope is directly related to the magnification in that the longer the focal length, the more magnification you get from the telsceope. How the focal length of a telescope relates to the length of the telescope itself depends on the design of the telescope. In a refracting telescope, the focal length is approximately the length of the telescope. In a reflecting telescope, the focal length is roughly two time the length of the telescope.
