Resolving power of a telescope can be increased by increasing :

  1. A Wavelength of light incident at telescope
  2. B Diameter of eye piece
  3. C Focal length of eyepiece
  4. D Diameter of Objective lens
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Diameter of Objective lens

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The resolving power of a telescope is defined as \(\frac{D}{1.22 \lambda}\), where \(D\) is the diameter of the objective lens. Therefore, increasing the diameter allows the telescope to distinguish between much closer objects, effectively increasing its resolution. D) Diameter…
