MCQ
An astronomical refracting telescope will have large angular magnification and high angular resolution, when it has an objective lens of
  • A
    small focal length and large diameter
  • B
    large focal length and small diameter
  • C
    small focal length and small diameter
  • large focal length and large diameter

Answer

Correct option: D.
large focal length and large diameter
d
For telescope, angular magnification $=\frac{f_{0}}{f_{e}}$

Angular resolution $=\frac{D}{1.22 \lambda}$ should be large.

So, objective lens should have large focal length $\left(f_{o}\right)$ and large diameter $D$ for large angular
