What is the angular resolution limit (degrees) set by diffraction for the 234-cm mirror diameter telescope (λ=560 nm)?
The pupil of the eye is the circular opening through which light enters. Its diameter can vary from about 2.0 mm to about 8.0 mm to control the intensity of the light reaching the retina. 1) Calculate the angular resolution, Br, of the eye for light that has a wavelength of 580 nm in bright light. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) x10 rad Submit 2) Calculate the angular resolution, or of the eye for light that has a...
Constants Part A The resolution of a telescope is ultimately limited by the diameter of its objective lens or mirror. A typical amateur astronomer's telescope may have a 7.0 in. -diameter mirror What is the minimum angular separation (in arc seconds) of two stars that can be resolved with a 7.0 in. scope? (Take ? to be at the center of the visible spectrum, about 550 nm, and note that 1 arc sec 1/3600 ) Express your answer using two...
The Hubble Space Telescope has a diameter of 2.4 m. 1) What is the angular limit of resolution due to diffraction when a wavelength of 990 nm is viewed? (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
Suppose your Newtonian reflect has an objective mirror 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter. a) What is the telescope's diffraction-limited angular resolution when used with yellow light of wavelength 600 nm? b) A binary star is a system of two stars orbiting each other. Suppose you are observing a binary star consisting of two yellow stars having an angular separation of 0.5 arc-seconds. Will your telescope be able to resolve the two stars? Explain your answer. c) Would you be...
please show all work and formulas BONUS: A telescope has an objective lens with a diameter of 60.0 mm and a focal length of 150.0 cm. (a) What magnifications would be achieved if you used an eyepiece with a focal length of 25 mm? (b) What angular resolution in radians or degrees is gained for a wavelength of 550.nm?
The Hubble Space Telescope has a mirror diameter of 2.4 m. Suppose the telescope is used to photograph stars near the center of our galaxy, 30,000 light years away, using red light with a wavelength of 720 nm . A) What's the distance (in km) between two stars that are marginally resolved? The resolution of a reflecting telescope is calculated exactly the same as for a refracting telescope. B) For comparison, what is this distance as a multiple of the...
