Draw below a Gallilean telescope (one built with a converging primary
lens and a diverging eyepiece lens). Draw it to scale so that the
overall angular magnification is . Derive its magnification in
terms of , , and any other parameters you think necessary.
Remember, is negative for a Gallilean telescope. Draw on
the diagram the rays used to derive the magnfication (which are tricky
for a diverging eyepiece, so be careful).
