Question

What is the resolution of a telescope? a) Its ability to see very faint objects its ability to focus more than just visible light for imaging b) Its ability to distinguish two adjacent objects close together in the sky c) Its ability to separate light into its component colors for analysisd) Its ability to make distant objects appear much closer to us

Answer 1

Letter B is correct!

A telescope is an observation instrument that collects light from distant objects, focuses light rays in the form of optical images and magnifies them geometrically so that the human eye can see distant objects. What makes this possible is the angular resolution of a telescope, which is the ability to distinguish two nearby objects in the sky, which happens through the relationship between the wavelength of the collected rays and the diameter of the telescope.
