Concept explainers
To Explain:A telescope with a small diameter would be unable to resolve the images of two closely spaced stars.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The angular resolving power of a telescope refers to the ability of the telescope to distinctly view two nearby objects.
The resolving power of a telescope depends on the wavelength of the light
Either a telescope with big diameter or a smaller
Conclusion:
The resolving power of telescope depends on the diameter of the telescope. A small diameter telescope won’t be able view two nearby objects distinctly.
