9.7 Reflecting type telescope
It consists of an objective which is a convex lens of large focal length and an eye-piece which is concave lens of short focal length $\left( {{f_o} > {f_e}} \right)$.
In normal adjustment magnifying power of Galileo's terrestial telescope is, $$M = \frac{{{f_o}}}{{{f_e}}}$$
Length of the telescope tube, $L=f_o-f_e$
