CBSE Class 12-science Answered

can you please suggest me mnimum magnification required to build a astronomical telescope? how do size of aperture play role in the factors like resolution and magnification? could you pease also suggest me recommended lenses' focal length and aperture to build a telescope?

Dear pal.somnath28@gmail.com

Thanks for asking us a question in Ask the Expert section of TopperLearning.com.

The scope of this helpdesk is to answer subject related queries which are relevant to understanding concepts and solving problems. Hence we regret that we would not be able to answer your query.
 
However, just to give you a basic idea, an astronomical telescope could be either refracting or reflecting. If you are building a refracting telescope then you will need two lenses and if you are building a reflecting telescope, then you will need a mirror and a lens. The magnification, aperture and focal length, etc will all depend on how large you want to construct your telscope. Hence, all the other factors will naturally depend on the size of your telescope needed.
For further reference you can search the internet for appropriate measurements for making telescopes.

Regards

Topperlearning Team.
