The "resolving power" of a telescope is a measure of the ability of a telescope to distinguish between two separate objects that appear to be very close together in the sky.
RP= Wavelength/2xNA
NA=numerical aperture
its the telescope with suitable configuration of power.
A second of arc (arcsecond, arcsec) is 1⁄60 of an arc minute, 1⁄3,600 of a degree.When it comes to astronomy, you will find the term "arc second" used in three ways: (1) to express a given distance in declination on a star chart, (2) as a given unit of an astronomical object's size, and (3) as an expression of a telescope's resolving power.
it is a reflector telescope
The light-gathering power of a telescope is determined by its aperture, which refers to the width of a telescopes primary mirror or objective lens.
The origin of the word "telescope" is ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: from Italian telescopio or modern Latin telescopium, from tele- 'at a distance' + -scopium (see -scope ).
haha
Resolving power is measured in arc seconds. The formula to find this is as follows: arc seconds (x) = 11.6/(D) 11.6 is part of the formula D- is the diameter of the telescope (which you have = 25cm) Therefore the resolving power should be: 11.6/25 = .46 arc seconds
No, you can change the magnification of the telescope by simply changing the eyepiece. The two most important powers of the telescope, light-gathering power and resolving power, depend on the diameter of the telescope, but it does not control the magnification.
Resolving power / the resolution.
Mainly, it has to have a large main lens, or main mirror.
Yes, both have to do with the diameter of the objective mirror/lens
Earth's atmosphere does not limit a telescope's resolving power.
I know of at least three. I hope these help: - magnifying power - light gathering power - field of view
The aperture of the main lens or mirror, which also determines the light gathering power ------------------------- True but the quality of the mirrors or lenses (how near they are to a perfect shape for the design of telescope) determines the sharpness of the image.
The ability of a microscope, telescope, or other optical instrument to produce separate images of closely placed objects. It's also possible to relate this to optical instruments such as computer screens or digital cameras where a higher resolution (more resolving power) will produce a clearer image.
its ability to distinguish two items at its highest magnification
No
