Exam-style question
Try this first
Which of the following factors does NOT affect the resolving power of a telescope?.
- A.Aperture size
- B.Wavelength of light used
- C.Telescope design
- D.The color of the telescope
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The color of the telescope
Explanation
Why this works
The color of the telescope itself does not affect its resolving power. Factors such as aperture size, wavelength of light, and telescope design are critical in determining how well a telescope can resolve details.
