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. `5 mm`B. `5 cm`C. `2.5 m`D. `5 m` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A Here, `D = 10 cm, x = 1 km = 10^(5) cm` Distance between two objects, `d = ?` `lambda = 5000 Å = 5 xx 10^(-5) cm` Limit of resolution `d theta = (d)/(x) = (lambda)/(D)` `:. D = (x lambda)/(D) = (10^(5) xx 5 xx 10^(-5))/(10) = 0.5 cm = 5 mm` |
