a 5-inch, f/10 telescope has a 2-inch eyepiece focal. its magnifying power is
10x
25x
50x
100x

Magnifying power = 25

Explanation:

Magnification power (M) of a telescope is a measure of the extent to which it enlarges the object under view. It given in terms of the ratio of the focal length of the telescope objective to that of the eyepiece

The f/ratio measures the light gathering power of a lens. It is expressed in terms of the focal length of the lens divided by its diameter.

It is given that:

eyepiece focal length = 2-inch

f/ratio = 10

Diameter of the objective = 5-inch

Based on eq(2), the focal length of the objective would be:

Based on eq(1), the magnifying power would be:
