Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diffraction causes light to spread out and interfere with nearby rays, leading to a decrease in resolution. This limit is known as the diffraction limit, and it is directly related to the diameter of the telescope's objective (aperture). Therefore, the correct answer is (C) resolution.
