MCQ
Which of the following is correct regarding microscope and telescope?
  • A
    Telescope provides magnification, whereas microscope provides resolution
  • Telescope provides resolution whereas microscope provides magnification
  • C
    Both provide resolution
  • D
    Both provide magnification

Answer

Correct option: B.
Telescope provides resolution whereas microscope provides magnification
b
(b)

A telescope produces images of far object nearer to our eye. Therefore objects which are not resolved at far distance, can be resolved by looking at them through a telescope. A microscope on the other hand magnifies object and produced their large image.
