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?

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...

QUESTION 5. (5a) Distinguish between Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction, in terms of a criterion based on feature/aperture size, illumination wavelength, and distances to the source and field points (5b) Determine the smallest resolvable angular separation between two stars of equal bright- ness viewed at 550 nm through the 200-inch diameter Hale telescope on Mount Palomar, near San Diego, California. If the primary viewing focal length is 666 inches, what is the linear separation between the images? (1 inch 25.4 mm)...

Diffraction Limit: How far away can a human eye distinguish two car headlights 2.0m apart? Consider only diffraction effects and assume an eye pupil diameter of 6 mm and a wavelength of 560 nm. What is the minimum angular separation an eye could resolve when viewing two stars, considering only diffraction effects? In reality, the minimum angular separation is about 1' of arc. Why is it not equal to your answer in part b)?
What is the linear size of the smallest feature on the moon you could resolve with...
What is the linear size of the smallest feature on the moon you could resolve with a Galilean telescope that has an objective lens with a diameter of 58.0 mm? Assume that the resolution would be diffraction limited and that the moon is 380,000 km away. Take the wavelength of light as 550 nm, which is near the peak of our sensitivity. Please include units of answer.
