Solution 1

The magnification (m) of a telescope is given by the equation m = -f_o/f_e, where f_o is the focal length of the objective lens and f_e is the focal length of the eyepiece.

We can rearrange this equation to solve for f_e: f_e = -f_o/m.

We know that the distance between the two lenses (L) is equal Knowee AI is a powerful AI-powered study tool designed to help you to solve study problem.
