คำอธิบาย
An astronomical telescope traditionally consists of two converging lenses with the objective having a longer focal length than the eyepiece. In this case, the 50 cm lens would serve as the objective, and the 5 cm lens as the eyepiece, which is a standard configuration for astronomical telescopes.
