Question

How can the resolving power of telescope be increased?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Resolving power of telescope is defined as the reciprocal of the smallest angular separation between two distant objects whose images are seen separately.

Resolving power of telescope RP=

1.22λ

a

where a is the diameter of objective lens of telescope.

⟹ RP ∝a

Thus resolving power of telescope can be increased by increasing the diameter of objective lens of telescope

Answer 2

Explanation:

Thus resolving power of telescope can be increased by increasing the diameter of objective lens of telescope.
