Question

In the formula for the resolving power of a telescope, RP = 1.22λ / D, what do the variables λ and D represent?
Options
A λ is the lens thickness, D is the depth of field.
B λ is the wavelength of light, D is the diameter of the mirror (objective).
Correct Answer
C λ is the focal length, D is the magnification.
D λ is the angular size, D is the object distance.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text explicitly defines the variables: 'where λ=wavelength of light, and D=diameter of mirror (objective).'

Hint

Recall the definitions provided directly after the resolving power formula.
