At Kavalur in India, the astronomers using a telescope whose objective had a diameter of one metre started using a telescope of diameter \(2.54 \mathrm{~m}\). This resulted in
- A the increase in the resolving power by \(2.54\) times for the same \(\lambda\)
- B the increase in the limiting angle by \(2.54\) times for the same \(\lambda\)
- C decrease in the resolving power
- D no effect on the limiting angle
