A lens of large focal length and large aperture is best suited as an objective of an astronomical telescope since:

(1) a large aperture contributes to the quality and visibility of the images.

(2) a large area of the objective ensures better light-gathering power.

(3) a large aperture provides a better resolution.

(4) all of the above.

Correct answer: (4) all of the above.

Explanation:

MP = \(\frac{f_0}{f_e}\)

R.P. = \(\frac{a}{1.22 \lambda}\)

large aperture(a) of the objective lens provides better resolution

∴ good quality of image is formed and also it gathers more light.
