Angular magnification
M= - F(objective)/F(eyepiece)
F(objective)=1/1.2 = 0.833
F(eyepiece) = -1/220= - 0.0045
M= 0.833/0.0045 = 185
A telescope has an objective with a refractive power of 1.20 diopters and an eyepiece with a refractive power of 220 diopters. What is the angular magnification of the telescope?
