John has placed an object at infinity. A 20 cm converging lens is nearest to the object. A 10 cm diverging lens is placed 20 cm behind the first lens. Does John have a Galilean telescope? Explain your reasoning.

Step 1
Since the object is placed at infinity, the focal length of the lens is simply its distance from the lens, which is 20 cm. Show more…

If a converging lens has a focal length of 20 cm, at which object distance will an image smaller than object be formed on the screen? 30 cm 50 cm 20 cm 40 cm

An object is placed first at infinity and then at 20 cm from the object side focal plane of the convex lens. The two images thus formed are 5 cm apart. The focal length of the lens is (a) 5 cm (b 10 cm (c) 15 cm (d) 20 cm

Two converging lenses are placed 20 cm apart, as shown in the figure below, with an object 30 cm in front of lens 1 on the left. The focal length of lens 1 is 10 cm. The focal length of lens 2 is 20 cm. What is the total magnification of the entire system?
