Options
- Asmall focal length and large diameter.
- Blarge focal length and large diameter.
- Clarge focal length and small diameter.
- Dsmall focal length and small diameter.
Correct answer
B. large focal length and large diameter.
Step-by-step solution
Angular magnification of astronomical refracting telescope in normal adjustment is given as m= f₀ f_e where, f₀ and f_e are focal lengths of objective and eyepiece. Hence, for large angular magnification of refracting telescope, it has an objective lens of large focal length and large diameter.
