Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) large focal length and large diameter.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Angular magnification of astronomical refracting telescope in normal adjustment is given as \(m=\frac{f_0}{f_e}\) where, \(f_0\) and \(f_e\) are focal lengths of objective and eyepiece. Hence, for large angular magnification of refracting telescope, it has an objective lens of…
