Question 314223: What is the magnifying level of a telescope if the length is 1500 mm and 9 mm?
Answer by Alan3354(69443)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If those are the focal lengths of the mirror and the eyepiece, or the objective lens and the eyepiece for a refractor, it's
1500/9
= 500/3
-----------
Don't buy a telescope based only on magnification. The light gathering is much more important. A lot of cheap, useless telescopes are sold with big mag numbers, and they're worthless.
