Question

select the correct answer.
which property of a telescope has no effect on the inverse square law?
○ a. light - gathering power
○ b. resolving power
○ c. magnification
○ d. projection

Explanation:

The inverse - square law relates to the intensity of light. Light - gathering power is related to the amount of light collected (affected by the area of the telescope's aperture, which is related to distance as per the inverse - square law). Resolving power (ability to distinguish two close objects) can be affected by light intensity (related to the inverse - square law). Projection is not a standard property in this context. Magnification (enlarging the image) does not directly affect the inverse - square law which is about light intensity and distance.

Answer:

C. magnification
