In this chapter, you explored some of the forces that affect celestial bodies. How is it possible to observe these forces in action? One tool that scientists have available is the telescope. The power of modern telescopes is quite impressive compared to those that were first invented.
b) How has the magnifying power of the most powerful telescopes changed over time? Can the increase in magnifying power be modelled by an exponential function? Justify your answer, using words, graphs, and equations
