Question:

Resolving power of a telescope can be increased by increasing:

Options:

Wavelength of light incident at telescope

Diameter of eye piece

Focal length of eyepiece

Diameter of Objective lens

Correct Answer:

Diameter of Objective lens

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Diameter of Objective lens

The resolving power of a telescope can be increased by increasing the diameter of objective lens or by decreasing the wavelength of light.

Objective lens diameter - A larger objective lens allow more light to enter the telescope, which make it easier to distinquish between nearby objects.
