How Do You Calculate The Light Collecting Area Of A Telescope? [Solved]
Since most telescope objectives are circular, the area = p × (diameter of objective)2/4, where the value of p is approximately 3.1416. For example: a 40-centimeter mirror has four times the light-gathering power as a 20-centimeter mirror [( p402/4) / ( p202/4) = (40/20)2 = 4].7 Feb 1999
