The resolving power of a telescope depends on

A

length of the telescope

B

focal length of the objective

C

diameter of the objective

D

focal length of eyepiece

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
For a telescope, `R.P.=(D)/(1.22lamda)`
thus, R.P. depends upon the diameter (D) of the objective.
