Focal length of the objective, fo = 30 cm

Length of the tube, L = 27 cm

Now,

L = fo-fe

In a Galilean telescope, the eyepiece lens is concave.

Thus, we have:

fe = fo – L = 30 – 27 = 3 cm

 For the given Galilean telescope,
(When the image is formed at infinity)
F base 0 = 30 cm,
L = 27 cm
Since L = f
base 0 – |f base e|
[Since, concave eyepiece lens is used in Galilean Telescope]
⇒ f base e
= f base 0 – L
= 30 – 27
= 3
