A lens of large focal length and large aperture is best suited as an objective of an astronomical telescope since:

Options

  1. Aa large aperture contributes to the quality and visibility of the images.
  2. Ba large area of the objective ensures better light gathering power.
  3. Ca large aperture provides a better resolution.
  4. Dall of the above.

Correct answer

D. all of the above.

Step-by-step solution

The formula of magnification power and resolving power of a telescope is, M.P.=f0fe and R.P.=a1.22λM . P . = \dfrac{{f}_{0}}{{f}_{e}} \text{ and } R . P . = \dfrac{a}{1 . 22\lambda}. A large aperture(a) of the objective lens provides better resolution so, the good quality of the image is formed, and also it gathers more light. The larger the objective, the lighter the telescope collects and increases the brightness of the image and large focal length enhances the magnifying power of the telescope.
