You have a telescope that consists of two converging lenses which are placed a distance apart which is approximately equal to the sum of their focal lengths. Focal length 1 is appriximatly 5.5cm and focal length 2 is approximatly 25cm.  The lens closest to the onject should have a resonably long focal length and the eyepiece lens should have a relatively short focal length to get good magnification.   a. draw a scale ray diagram for a telescope using one long and one short focal length lens. b. Estimate how much larger your distance object appears through your telescope and then calculate the angular magnification.

You have a telescope that consists of two converging lenses which are placed a distance apart which is approximately equal to the sum of their focal lengths. Focal length 1 is appriximatly 5.5cm and focal length 2 is approximatly 25cm.  The lens closest to the onject should have a resonably long focal length and the eyepiece lens should have a relatively short focal length to get good magnification.  

a. draw a scale ray diagram for a telescope using one long and one short focal length lens.

b. Estimate how much larger your distance object appears through your telescope and then calculate the angular magnification.
