6. If you wanted to develop a telescope, what kind of lenses would you use for the objective lens (the lens that collects the light) and the eyepiece? Explain your reasoning. Draw a picture with ray tracing of your setup.

Answer:
objetive: a converging lens for large diameter lenses
eyepiece you must select a lens with a small focal length and the diameter is not important
The selected lenses should decrease chromatic aberration.
Explanation:
A telescope is an instrument that collects light from very distant objects, therefore very weak.
Therefore you should select a converging lens for large diameter lenses, to collect magnanimous light and with a large focal length.
For the eyepiece you must select a lens with a small focal length and the diameter is not important
the telescope magnification is
m = f_objective / F_ocular
The selected lenses should decrease chromatic aberration.
In general, these lenses are heavy, so refractory telescopes were imposed, so it uses a concave mirror instead of an objective lens.
