Answer

$2.1\ mm$

Work Step by Step

Given, The angular magnification of an astronomical telescope $m_\theta = 36$ Diameter of the objective lens $d_{objective} = 75\ mm$ Minimum diameter for eye piece is given by: $d_{eye piece} = \frac{d_{objective}}{m_\theta} $ $d_{eye piece} = \frac{75\ mm}{36} $ $d_{eye piece} = 2.1\ mm $
