Answer

$9.1mm$

Work Step by Step

As $d_i=d-f_{eye\space }$ $\implies d_i=15.0-5.0=10.00cm$ Now we can find the focal length of the objective lens as follows: $f_{objective}=(\frac{1}{d}+\frac{1}{d_{\circ}})^{-1}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f_{objective}=(\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{1.0})^{-1}$ $f_{objective}=9.1mm$
