A telescope gives an (inverted erect) and \( \ldots \ldots . \) (enlarged/diminished) image of a distant object. Choose the correct alternative.
- A. Inverted, diminished
- B. Inverted, enlarged
- C. Erect, diminished
- D. Erect, enlarged
Step-by-step solution
In an astronomical telescope (refracting type), the objective lens forms a real, inverted, and diminished image of a distant object. The eyepiece then magnifies this image, producing a virtual, inverted, and enlarged final image. The image is inverted relative to the object and enlarged in angular size compared to the naked eye view.
