A lens of large focal length and large aperture is best suited as an objective of an astronomical telescope since:
1. | a large aperture contributes to the quality and visibility of the images. |
2. | a large area of the objective ensures better light-gathering power. |
3. | a large aperture provides a better resolution. |
4. | all of the above. |
The electron concentration in an \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)type semiconductor is the same as the hole concentration in a \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)type semiconductor. An external field (electric) is applied across each of them. Compare the currents in them.
1. | current in \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)type \(>\) current in \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)type. |
2. | no current will flow in \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)type, current will only flow in \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)type. |
3. | current in \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)type \(=\) current in \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)type. |
4. | current in \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)type \(>\) current in \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)type. |
1. | \(3n\) | 2. | \(4n\) |
