An observer is using an astronomical refracting telescope to observe planets in normal adjustment. The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece used in the telescope construction are \(20\) m and \(2\) cm respectively. Consider the following statements about the telescope:
(a) the distance between the objective and the eyepiece is \(20.02\) m.
(b) the magnification of the telescope is \(-1000\).
(c) the image of the planet is erect and diminished.
(d) the aperture of the eyepiece is smaller than that of the objective.
The correct statements are:
1. (a), (b), and (c)
2. (b), (c), and (d)
3. (c), (d), and (a)
4. (a), (b), and (d)

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.
