Assume that light of wavelength 6000 dotA is coming from a star. What is the limit of resolution of a telescope whose objective has a diameter of 100 inch?

Answer»

Solution :A 100 INCH telescope implies that
`= 100 "inch"= 254 cm.` Thus if,
`lambda approx 6000 dotA= 6xx 10^(-5)cm` then,
`TRIANGLE theta = (1.22 lambda)/(a) approx 2.9xx 10^(-7)` radians.
