Question

Before starting this question, it is worth pointing out that Galileo was able to build his telescope to achieve a magnification of 30x. 

There is a special relationship between the position of the eyepiece and the focal point of the objective lens. What is it?

a) The eyepiece is a distance of its own focal length times that of the objective lens to the left of the focal point of the objective lens.

b) The eyepiece is a distance of its own focal length to the right of the focal point of the objective lens.

c) The eyepiece is a distance of its own focal length times that of the objective lens to the right of the focal point of the objective lens.

d) The eyepiece is placed at the focal point of the objective lens.

e) The eyepiece is a distance of its own focal length to the left of the focal point of the objective lens.
