Cassegrain telescope design

Physics Asked by T.J.Morris on December 3, 2020

How are the dimensions of a cassegrain telescope configured? In particular the distance of the secondary hyperbolic mirror from the primary mirror and also the diameter of the secondary mirror. Any equations or diagrams will be a massive help.

I also read that the back focus of the hyperbolic secondary mirror must coincide with focus of the primary. Why is this necessary?
