The size and aperture of the telescopes determine its ability to gather light
and reveal details.
A) Observatory X can detect dimmer stars and Observatory Y reveals more
details.
Reasons:
The benefits of using several small telescopes included the production
high resolution images of bright objects such as binary stars that reveal
more details similar to a telescope with a very large aperture, with a
process known as interferometry, through which a star's diameter can be
determined.
The benefit of a large telescope is its ability to gather light from a source,
thereby making possible to detect a dim light source, such as dimmer
stars.
Therefore;
The single large telescope in observatory X can detect dimmer stars while
the interferometer consisting of five 10-meter telescopes, spread out over a
region 100 meters across can see more detail in its images.
The correct option is; A) Observatory X can detect dimmer stars and
Observatory Y reveals more details.
