If the aperature of a telescope is decreased resolving power will

A

increases

B

decreases

C

remain same

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The resolving power = `(a)/(1.22 lambda)`
where a = aperture of telescope
`therefore` Resolving power `prop` aperture of telescope
If resolving power is decreased , the resolving power will decrease.
