  1. A small focal length and large diameter
  2. B large focal length and small diameter
  3. C small focal length and small diameter
  4. D large focal length and large diameter
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) large focal length and large diameter

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For telescope, angular magnification \(=\frac{f_{0}}{f_{e}}\) Angular resolution \(=\frac{D}{1.22 \lambda}\) should be large.
