$A$ small telescope has an objective lens of focal length $140 \; cm$ and an eyepiece of focal length $5.0 \; cm$. What is the magnifying power of the telescope for viewing distant objects when
$(a)$ the telescope is in normal adjustment (i.e.,when the final image is at infinity)?
$(b)$ the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision $(25 \; cm)$?

The focal lengths of the objective lens and the eye lens of a Galilean telescope are $30\, cm$ and $3.0\, cm$ respectively. The telescope produces a virtual,erect image of an object situated far away from it at the least distance of distinct vision from the eye lens. In this condition,the magnifying power of the Galilean telescope should be:
