$A$ small telescope has an objective lens of focal length $144\;cm$ and an eyepiece of focal length $6.0\;cm$. What is the magnifying power of the telescope? What is the separation between the objective and the eyepiece?

$A$ telescope has an objective lens of focal length $144\, cm$ and an eyepiece of focal length $6\, cm$. Find the magnifying power of the telescope for normal adjustment.

The magnifying power of an astronomical telescope for normal adjustment is given by:

The objective and eyepiece of an astronomical telescope are double convex lenses with refractive index $1.5$. When the telescope is adjusted to infinity, the separation between the two lenses is $16 \,cm$. If the space between the lenses is now filled with water and the telescope is again adjusted for infinity, then the present separation between the lenses is: (in $\,cm$)

If the length of the tube of an astronomical telescope is $105 \, cm$ and its magnification power for normal adjustment is $20$,then the focal length of its objective lens will be ....... $cm$.
