    The aperture of the objective lens of a telescope is made large so as to:

    A)  increase the resolving power of the telescope

    B)  increase the magnifying power of the telescope

    C)  to focus on distant objects

    D)  make image aberrationless

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Resolving power of the telescope is                 \[=\frac{a}{1.22\,\lambda }\] where a = diameter of aperture of                 objective lens                 \[\lambda =\] wavelength of light Therefore, resolving power \[\propto \,a\] As aperture of the objective lens increases, resolving power of telescope increases.
