An astronomical refracting telescope will have large angular magnification and high angular resolution, when it has an objective lens of
large focal length and large diameter
large focal length and small diameter
small focal length and large diameter
small focal length and small diameter
To solve this problem, we need to understand the requirements for an astronomical refracting telescope to have large angular magnification and high angular resolution.• Angular magnification of a telescope is given by the formula:where is the focal length of the objective lens and is the focal length of the eyepiece.For large angular magnification, should be large.• Angular resolution is determined by the ability of the telescope to distinguish between two close objects.According to Rayleigh's criterion, the angular resolution is given by:where is the wavelength of light and is the diameter of the objective lens.For high angular resolution, should be large.Therefore, to achieve both large angular magnification and high angular resolution,the objective lens should have a large focal length and a large diameter.Thus, the correct option is:Option 1: large focal length and large diameter.
