An astronomical refracting telescope will have
large angular magnification and high angular
resolution, when it has an objective lens of
- Asmall focal length and large diameter
- Blarge focal length and small diameter
- Clarge focal length and large diameter
- Dsmall focal length and small diameter
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
For telescope, angular magnification = , which
shows that focal length of objective lens to be large.
Angular resolution = which is large, hence
objective should have large focal length and larger
diameter.
