 Problem 47GP

 

Your telescope has an objective lens with a focal length of 1.0 m. You point the telescope at the moon, only to realize that the eyepiece is missing. Even so, you can still see the real image of the moon formed by the objective lens if you place your eye a little past the image so as to view the rays diverging from the image plane, just as rays would diverge from an object at that location. What is the angular magnification of the moon if you view its real image from 25 cm away, your near-point distance?
