  1. A have high resolution.
  2. B have low dispersion.
  3. C increase the span of observation.
  4. D have large wavelength.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) have high resolution.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Though according to mathematical equation R.P. \(\propto \frac{1}{\lambda}\), telescopes being used in sunlight to observe celestial objects, practically there is no control on wavelength incident ( \(\lambda\) ). Hence, using objective lens of large aperture is the effective way to increase R.P. of telescope.
