35.Define magnifying power of an optical instrument. An astronomical refracting telescope consists of two lenses of focal length 75 cm and 5 cm. Calculate the magnifying power of the telescope when the final image is formed at a distance of 25 cm from the eye.
Magnifying power of an optical instrument is defined as ratio of the angle subtended at the eye by the final image to the angle subtended at the eye, by the object directly,
