Question:

The resolving power of a telescope can be increased by

Options:

increasing the focal length of objective

increasing the aperture and diameter of objective

decreasing the focal length of objective

decreasing the aperture diameter of objective

Correct Answer:

increasing the aperture and diameter of objective

Explanation:

The resolving power of a telescope  = $\frac{d}{1.22 \lambda}$​ where, d is the diameter of objective. So if the diameter of objective lens of telescope is increased then the resolving power will be increase.
