As we learnt in

Astronomical Telescope -

m= frac{-f_{o}}{f_{e}}left ( 1+frac{f_{e}}{D} 
ight )
 

- wherein

f_{o} = focal length of objective

f_{e}= focal length of eyepiece

 

 

 

magnifying power = \frac{f_{0}}{f_{e}}=9

f_{0}=9f_{e}----------(1)

Also f_{0}+f_{e}=20 cm

\Rightarrow 10 f_{e}=20cm

f_{e}=2cm

f_{0}=18cm
