To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to optical magnification (is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something.). Specifically the angular magnification of an optical telescope is given by

Where,
Focal length of the objective lens in a refractor
Focal length of the eyepiece
Our values are given as
71cm
2.1cm
Replacing we have



Therefore the magnification of this astronomical telescope is -33.81
Answers:
a) 10 m
b) time=1.6 s, frquency=0.625 Hz
c) 6.25 m/s
Explanation:
a) If there is a crest at each dock and another three crests between the two docks, and the wavelength
is the distance between to crests; this means we have
in
:

Clearing
:


b) This part can be solved by a Rule of Three:
If 10 waves ---- 16 s
1 wave ----- 
Then:

This is the period of the wave
On the other hand, the frequency
of the wave has an inverse relation with its period
:


This is the frequency of the wave
c) The speed
of a wave is given by the following equation:


Finally:
