The resolving power of a refracting type telescope can be increased by :

  1. A Choosing a large diameter objective lens
  2. B Choosing a small diameter objective lens
  3. C Increasing wavelength of light
  4. D Using an objective lens of large focal length
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Choosing a large diameter objective lens

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The resolving power of a telescope is given by \(R . P .=\frac{D}{1.22 \lambda^{\prime}}\), where \(D\) is the diameter of the objective lens. Therefore, increasing the diameter ( \(D\) ) directly increases the telescope's ability to distinguish between two closely spaced…
