A Keplerian telescope has a main lens with diameter 10 cm, focal length fo = 90 cm, and an eyepiece of focal length fe = 12 mm. It is then modified by inserting a biconcave lens (called a Barlow lens) of focal length fB = -60 mm, at a location 864 mm to the right of the main lens. The eyepiece is then moved until its front focal point is at the new image, formed by the main lens and the Barlow lens combined. This system observes a globular star cluster of angular diameter 0.1 degrees. Calculate: i) The linear diameter of the real image of the star cluster after the Barlow lens. ii) The angular magnification of the system.
