(i) Define Resolving Power of a simple astronomical telescope.

(ii) State one advantage of a reflecting telescope over refracting telescope.

Solution

(i) Resolving power of a telescope is its ability to see two very closely objects just separate,

(ii) Advantage of reflecting telescope over refracting telescope is, there is no loss of light in case of reflection, image produced by a reflecting telescope is much brighter than that produced by a refracting telescope.
