Diameter of the objective of a telescope is ( 200 ~cm ). What is the resolving power of a telescope ( ? ) Take wavelength of light ( =5000 ~A ).
Options
- A( 6.56 10⁶ )
- B( 3.28 10⁵ )
- C( 1 10⁶ )
- D( 3.28 10⁶ )
Correct answer
D. ( 3.28 10⁶ )
Step-by-step solution
Resolving power of telescope is given as [ array l D 1.22 = 200 ~cm 1.22 5000 AA = 200 10⁻² ~m 1.22 5000 10⁻¹⁰ ~m =3.2786 10⁶ ~m array ] Therefore, resolving power of telescope ( =3.28 10⁶ )
