If an astronomical telescope has the magnification of -31.0 ?
and its objective lens has a focal length of 75 cm, what is the
focal length of its eyepiece?
cm
What is the overall length of the telescope when adjusted for a
relaxed eye?
cm
Magnification M = -31
Focal length of objective f o = 75 cm
Focal length of eye piece f e = ?
We know M = f o / f e
From this f e = f o / M
= -2.419 cm
(b). The overall length of the telescope when adjusted for a relaxed eye L = f o + f e
= 77.41 cm
