Answer

(a) $6.0$ (b) $35.0cm$

Work Step by Step

(a) The greates magnification can be determined as $M_{total}=\frac{f_{objective}}{f_{eyepiece}}=\frac{f_{max}}{f_{min}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $M_{total}=\frac{30.0}{5.0}=6.0$ (b) We know that $L=f_{objective}+f_{eyepiece}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $L=30.0+5.0=35.0cm$
