Large aperture of telescope are used for

A

reduced spherical aberration

B

have high resolution

C

increase span of observation

D

have low dispersion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The resolving power of an astronomical telescope is =`(D)/(1.22 lamda)` where D is the diameter of the objective lens . In order to improve the resolution of an astronomial telescope , one has to increase the diameter , i.e, linear aperture of the astronomial telescope
