an eyepiece of a telescope consists of two plano convex lenses l1 and l2 each of focal length f separated by a distance of 2ƒ/3. where should l1 be placed relative to focus of the objective lens of telescope, so that the final image through l2 is seen at infinity?

Dear student
 
Combined focal length of eyepiece is given by
1/F = 1/f + 1/f - (2f/3)/ f² = 2/f - 2/3f
1/F = 4/3f
F = 3f/4
In telescope, focal point of objective lens should be at focal point of eye-piece.
Hence L1 is placed at a distance of 3f/4 from the focal point of objective lens.
