2.8 Exercise 13

Avg difficulty 2.5

Unless otherwise stated, the lens-to-retina distance is 2.00 cm.

A 7.5×7.5 \times binocular produces an angular magnification of −7.50, acting like a telescope. (Mirrors are used to make the image upright.) If the binoculars have objective lenses with a 75.0-cm focal length, what is the focal length of the eyepiece lenses?
