The Galilean Telescope. Figure P34.100 is a diagram of a Galilean telescope, or opera glass, with both the object and its final image at infinity. The image I serves as a virtual object for the eyepiece. The final image is virtual and erect. (a) Prove that the angular magnification is M = -f1/f2. (b) A Galilean telescope is to be constructed with the same objective lens as in Exercise 34.61. What focal length should the eyepiece have if this telescope is to have the same magnitude of angular magnification as the one in Exercise 34.61? (c) Compare the lengths of the telescopes.

34.61. A telescope is constructed from two lenses with focal lengths of 95.0 cm and 15.0 cm, the 95.0-cm lens being used as the objective. Both the object being viewed and the final image are at infinity. (a) Find the angular magnification for the telescope. (b) Find the height of the image formed by the objective of a building 60.0 m tall, 3.00 km away. (c) What is the angular size of the final image as viewed by an eye very close to the eyepiece?
