A telescope has an objective lens of `10cm` diameter and is situated at a distance of one kilometre from two objects. The minimum distance between these two objects, which can be resolved by the telescope, when the mean wavelength of light is `5000 Å`, of the order ofA. `0.5m`B. `5m`C. `5 mm`D. `5 cm` |

Answer» Correct Answer - C Resolving limit of telescope is `theta prop (x)/(D)=(lambda)/(d)implies x=(lambdaD)/(d)` Given, `lambda=5000 Å=5000xx10^(-1)m` `D=1km=1000m` `d=10cm=0.1m` Hence, `x=(5000xx10^(-10)xx1000)/(0.1)` `=5xx10^(-3)m=5mm` |
