In a Galilean telescope,the final image formed is:

An astronomical telescope has an objective and an eyepiece of focal lengths $40\, cm$ and $4\, cm$ respectively. To view an object $200\, cm$ away from the objective,the lenses must be separated by a distance of.....$cm$.

$(a)$ $A$ giant refracting telescope at an observatory has an objective lens of focal length $15 \; m$. If an eyepiece of focal length $1.0 \; cm$ is used,what is the angular magnification of the telescope?
$(b)$ If this telescope is used to view the moon,what is the diameter of the image of the moon formed by the objective lens? The diameter of the moon is $3.48 \times 10^{6} \; m$,and the radius of the lunar orbit is $3.8 \times 10^{8} \; m$.
