AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding the formulas for the magnifying power and the length of the tube of an astronomical telescope, we will approach it step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Components of an Astronomical Telescope An astronomical telescope consists of two convex lenses: - **Objective Lens (FO)**: This lens has a longer focal length and is positioned towards the object being observed. - **Eyepiece Lens (FE)**: This lens has a shorter focal length and is positioned towards the eye of the observer. ### Step 2: Magnifying Power of the Telescope ...
