As we have learned

Astronomical Telescope -

m= frac{-f_{o}}{f_{e}}left ( 1+frac{f_{e}}{D} 
ight )
 

- wherein

f_{o} = focal length of objective

f_{e}= focal length of eyepiece

 

for large angular magnification and high angular resolution , the objective lens of refracting telescope should have large diameter and large focal length  

 

M=\frac{f_{0}}{f_{e}}    and resolving power =\frac{d}{1.22\lambda }

Option 2)

large focal length and small diameter

This is incorrect

Option 3)

small focal length and large diameter
