Question

question 3
a telescope is used to take two images, one magnified 100x and the other magnified 400x.
in which image would you be able to see the most detail and why?
1 pts
the 400x photograph because the image will be brighter.
neither because magnification doesnt affect the amount of detail seen.
the 100x photograph because the resolution will be better.
the 100x photograph because smaller images look clearer.
the 400x photograph because the resolution will be better.

Explanation:

Higher magnification in a telescope generally allows for more detail to be seen as long as the resolution of the telescope's optics and other factors like atmospheric conditions permit. A 400x magnification provides a more enlarged view compared to 100x, which can reveal finer details. Magnification does not directly relate to image brightness (which is more about aperture and exposure), and a higher - magnification image can have better resolution for seeing details if the telescope has sufficient resolving power. Smaller images do not necessarily look clearer, and 100x does not have inherently better resolution for seeing details compared to 400x in the context of maximizing detail view.

Answer:

The 400x photograph because the resolution will be better.
