Question

Question 6 (15 points): If you are using a 10” telescope and your friend is using a 40” telescope, which of you will be able to see fainter objects? How much more light (what factor) does the telescope that collects more light collect? Remember to explain your reasoning or show your work.

Question 7 (15 points): Which of the telescopes in the last question has the better angular resolution? How much better (what factor) is the resolution? Using the formula given in the lesson, what is the angular resolution of each of these telescopes? Remember to explain your reasoning or show your work.

Explanation / Answer

6)

Telescope is the largest telescope, polished with 40-inch lenses. Thus the faint objects are clearly visible to see than telescope.

If the telescope magnifying with high lenses then the visibility also be high.

The magnification of the telescope is inversely proportional to its diameter.

The telescope has collected 4 times more light than the telescope from calculations.

Hence, the telescope was always collecting more light than the telescope.
