Problem 5.43

A Galilean telescope of 10 -fold magnification has the length of \(45 \mathrm{~cm}\) when adjusted to infinity. Determine: (a) the focal lengths of the telescope's objective and ocular; (b) by what distance the ocular should be displaced to adjust the telescope to the distance of \(50 \mathrm{~m}\).

Reveal Answer
 (a) 50 and 5 cm; (b) by a distance of 0.5 cm . \text { (a) } 50 \text { and } 5 \mathrm{~cm} ; \text { (b) by a distance of } 0.5 \mathrm{~cm} \text { . }
