Question

resolving power of telescope of an aperture 100cm and wavelength of light is 5500A^o is
a)0.149×10^7
b)1.49×10^7
c)14.9×10^7
d)149×10&^7

Answer 1

b

1.49×10^7..........

Answer 2

A) right answer
The resolution of the telescope depends on the type of light it is dealing with, and hence, will depend on the wavelength of the incoming light. Therefore, it is also called the diffraction limit of telescope.


If you need to convert the units, remember that 1 meter = 100 cm.
