ScanSolve AI Answer

Angular magnification, as used in relation to a telescope in normal adjustment, is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended by the final image at the eye to the angle subtended by the object at the objective lens. In normal adjustment, the final image is formed at infinity. It is given by the formula:

M=fofeM = \frac{f_o}{f_e}

where fof_o is the focal length of the objective lens and fef_e is the focal length of the eyepiece.
