PHY 104 MICROSCOPE Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

According to the provided formula, what factors does the resolving power (RP) of a telescope depend on?
Options
A Only the focal length of the objective.
B The wavelength of light and the diameter of the objective.
Correct Answer
C The magnification and the eyepiece focal length.
D The distance to the object and the object's size.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The formula for resolving power is RP = 1.22λ/D, where λ=wavelength of light and D=diameter of mirror (objective). This directly indicates dependency on wavelength and objective diameter.

Hint

Examine the variables present in the RP formula.
