A graduate student is trying to follow the weather on Jupiter for her PhD thesis. To see the big weather patterns in the upper atmosphere of the planet, she needs to have excellent resolution. What type of telescope would be best for her to use? a. a refractor, with as small an aperture as possible b. a radio telescope c. a large reflector in an observatory located at sea level d. a large reflector located in orbit above the Earth's atmosphere e. you can't fool me, all these telescopes have the same resolution

Respuesta :

Answer: large reflector located in orbit above the Earth's atmosphere

Explanation:

Since the student wants to see the big weather patterns in the upper atmosphere of the planet, and she will therefore need to have excellent resolution, the type of telescope that is ideal for her to use is a large reflector located in orbit above the Earth's atmosphere.

It should be noted that the refractor or a radio telescope isn't ideal in this situation as they will not capture the bug weather pattern and doesn't have an excellent resolution like the large reflector.
