Answer» <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>Correct option (a) magnifying power and resolving power both are increased</strong></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>Explanation:</strong></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Since, intensity ∝ (diameter of the lens) 2 , therefore, diameter of aperture of the objective lens should be large, so, that more and more rays may enter in the telescope and hence, the intensity of image gets increased. Also resolving power is also increased.</span></span></p> | |
