Question #1
The resolving power of an astronomical telescope can be significantly increased by:
A. Using light of a longer wavelength.
B. Increasing the aperture (diameter) of the objective lens.
C. Increasing the focal length of the objective lens.
D. Decreasing the focal length of the eyepiece.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Resolving power is a telescope's ability to distinguish closely spaced objects (like double stars) as separate. It is proportional to D / lambda, where D is the diameter (aperture) of the objective lens and lambda is the wavelength of light. Increasing the aperture D directly and strictly increases the resolving power.
