Two light bulbs are 1.0m apart. From what distance can these light bulbs be marginally resolved by a small telescope with a 3.0cm -diameter objective lens? Assume that the lens is limited only by diffraction and ?=600nm.
Two light bulbs are 1.20 m apart. From what distance can these light bulbs be marginally resolved by a small telescope with a 4.50 cm -diameter objective lens? Assume that the lens is diffraction limited and λ =600nm.
Two stars are 4.0 × 1011 m apart and are equally distant from the earth. A telescope has an objective lens with a diameter of 1.86 m and just detects these stars as separate objects. Assume that light of wavelength 480 nm is being observed. Also, assume that diffraction effects, rather than atmospheric turbulence, limit the resolving power of the telescope. Find the maximum distance that these stars could be from the earth.
Two stars are 5.3 × 1011 m apart and are equally distant from the earth. A telescope has an objective lens with a diameter of 1.08 m and just detects these stars as separate objects. Assume that light of wavelength 490 nm is being observed. Also, assume that diffraction effects, rather than atmospheric turbulence, limit the resolving power of the telescope. Find the maximum distance that these stars could be from the earth.
Two stars are 3.7 3 1011 m apart and are equally distant from the earth. A telescope has an objective lens with a diameter of 1.02 m and just detects these stars as separate objects. Assume that light of wave- length 550 nm is being observed. Also assume that diffraction effects, rather than atmospheric turbulence, limit the resolving power of the telescope. Find the maximum distance that these stars could be from the earth.
Problem 19.55 Once dark adapted the pupil of your eye is approximately 7 mm in diameter The headlights of an oncoming car are 150 cm apart Part A If the lens of your eye is limited only by dittraction, at what distance are the two headigts marginally resolved? Assume the light's wavelength in airis um and the index of refraction inside the eye is 133 mour eye is not really good enough to resolve headights at this distance, due both...
A reflecting telescope is used to observe two distant point sources that are 3.00 m apart with light of wavelength 600 nm. The telescope's mirror has a radius of 4.0 cm . What is the maximum distance in meters at which the two sources may be distinguished? Express your answer in meters to two significant figures.
A telescope is used to observe two objects that are 10 km away from the telescope, and these two objects are 0.12m apart from each other. The wavelength of the light used for observation is 600 nm. Calculate the diameter of the objective lens of the telescope if it can just resolve the two objects. 0.12 m 10 km
) In the figure, a slit 0.30 mm wide is illuminated by light of wavelength 426 nm. A diffraction attern is seen on a screen 2.8 m from the slit. What is the linear distance on the screen between e first diffraction minima on either side of the central diffraction maximum? Answer: 8.0 mm 30) A thin beam of laser light of wavelength 514 nm passes through a diffraction grating having 3952 lines/cm. The resulting pattern is viewed on a...
The diffraction limit, the smallest angle in degrees that can be resolved, is 250,000 arcsec × (wavelength/diameter of telescope). Humans have two eyes separated by about 8.5 cm and a marvelous computer between their ears. If this optical interferometer is just as good as one eyeball with a diameter as large as the separation of two regular eyeballs, what is the diffraction limit in arcsec of human vision for visible light at 599 nm?
