Question
The resolving power of a telescope can be increased by increasing:
✓
Answer
- Diameter of objective.
The resolving power of a telescope can be given as:
Resolving power $=\frac{1}{\text{d}(\theta)}=\frac{1}{1.22\lambda/ \text{D}}=\frac{\text{D}}{1.22}$ (wavelength)
So, resolving power can be increased by decreasing the wavelength and increasing the diameter of objective.
