The length of an astronomical telescope for normal vision (relaxed eye) ($f_o$ = focal length of objective lens and $f_e$ = focal length of eye lens) is

The objective and eyepiece of an astronomical telescope are double convex lenses with refractive index $1.5$. When the telescope is adjusted to infinity, the separation between the two lenses is $16 \,cm$. If the space between the lenses is now filled with water and the telescope is again adjusted for infinity, then the present separation between the lenses is: (in $\,cm$)
