Resolving power: If the diameter of a radar dish is doubled, what happens to its resolving power assuming that all other factors remain unchanged?
A) The resolving power quadruples.
B) The resolving power doubles.
C) The resolving power is reduced to 1/2 of its original value.
D) The resolving power is reduced to 1/4 of its original value.
