class 12 investigatory project

1. Aim
To understand the construction and working of an astronomical telescope using
convex lenses of suitable focal lengths.

2. Introduction

3. Apparatus used
Convex lenses of focal lengths 10 cm and 30 cm
Ivory sheets
Adhesive tape

4. Theory and working
1.)Construction

5. 2.)Working of astronomical telescope

7. Magnification for the telescope made by two given lenses
fo = 30cm = 0.3m
fe = 10cm = 0.1m
D = 25cm = 0.25m
m = -
0.3
0.1
(1 +
0.1
0.25
) = -4.2 for image at least ditance of distinct vission
m = -
0.3
0.1
0.1
0.25
= -1.2 for image at infinity

8. Conclusion
The astronomical telescope designed is able to produce real, inverted and
magnified images of the objects very far away from it.
