Assume that light of wavelength 6000A 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 2a=100 inch=254cm.Thus if `lamda=6000Å=6xx10^(-5)CM`then`DELTA theta~~=(0.61xx6xx10^(-5))/127~~2.9xx10^(-7)` RADIANS
