Ans. elescope is an optical instrument used to make distant objects appear

sO that they may be seen distinctly. An astronomical telescop

heavenly bodies (e.g. planets, moons, stars, etc.)

Principle

A telescope apparently increases the visual angle. The image of a distant ooj

smaller but it looks large through a telescope because it is much nearer to the eye a

a large Visual angle.

Construction: An astronomical telescope consists of a tube with a lens at eaci

end. It comprises two convex lenses.

Conclusion:

For high magnification, the focal length of the objective should be very 1arge

Moreover, the aperture of the object should be large to increase the brightness ot the

image.

: Definition:A  terrestrial telescope is an optical instrument used to view distant objects on the earth clearly A  telescope apparently increases the visual angle. The image of a distant object is

smaller, but it looks larger through a telescope because it is much near to the eye and hasa  larger visual angle

CONSTRUCTION:A terrestrial telescope consists of three convex lenses

Obiective The converging lens kept towards the object is called objective. It has longer focal

length .
