Define the term ‘resolving power of a telescope’.
Advertisements
उत्तर १
The resolving power of an astronomical telescope is defined as the reciprocal of the smallest angular separation between two point objects whose images can just be resolved by the telescope.
R.P = `(1.22 lambda)/D`
उत्तर २
Resolving power is the ability of the telescope to distinguish clearly between two points whose angular separation is less than the smallest angle that the observer’s eye can resolve.
