Question

KollegeApply · Accepted Answer

The resolving power of a telescope depends upon the diameter of an objective. Explanation: R.P of telescope = 1/(d theta)=a/(1.22lambda) Thus, it is clear that a telescope with a large diameter of the objective has higher resolving power. Thus, the resolving power of a telescope depends on the diameter of an objective.
