- A.Larger telescopes have poorer resolution
- B.Resolution is independent of telescope design
- C.Aperture size directly affects resolution
- D.Only the type of lens affects resolution
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Aperture size directly affects resolution
Explanation
Why this works
The resolution of a telescope is directly related to its aperture size; larger apertures can resolve finer details due to their ability to collect more light and reduce diffraction effects.
