Question:
What steps can be taken to achieve high resolving power of a telescope
Answer:
Resolving power is the ability to make images sharp enough to distinguish two objects side by side. Mathematically, Resolving power = d /1.22 λ where d is the diameter of the mirror and λ is the wavelength of the mirror.
- Higher the diameter, better resolving power can be achieved
- When the wavelength is small, resolving power will be more as the resolving power is inversely proportional to the wavelength
