If the diameter of a radar dish is doubled, what happens to its resolving power, assuming that all other factors remain unchanged? Its resolving power a. is reduced to one-half its original value.
b. Quadruples.
c. is reduced to one-quartet its original value.
d. Halves.
e. Doubles.

e. Doubles.

Explanation:

Resolving power is given by the formula as follows :

Here, is the angle subtended by two distant objects

D is diameter of the telescope

Here, the diameter of a radar dish is doubled, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, then the resolving power gets doubled. Hence, the correct option is (e).

you get 2.3=1.21*\frac{a}2 or 4.6=1.21a or a=3.802 (b)
