A light of wavelength, 5000Å is coming from a distant star. What is the limit of resolution of a telescope whose objective has a diameter of 200 cm ? |
Answer» The limit of resolution `Deltatheta` is given by `Delta theta~~(0.61lambda)/a` Here `lambda=5000Å=5000xx10^(-10)m` `a=200/2=100 cm =100xx10^(-2)m` putting the values we have `Deltatheta~~3.05xx10^(-7)` radians |
