6. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has a 2.4m diameter primary mirror, which you may assume to be diffraction limited. The HST is used to image an object located at a distance of 4000km away from the HST. Estimate the minimum feature size that may be resolved using yellow light (wavelength=580nm) on the distant object? [10 marks]

Question 1: [20 Points] a) The primary mirror of the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope has a diameter of 2.50 m. Being in orbit, this telescope avoids the degrading effects of atmospheric distortion on its resolution. The Hubble Space Telescope is observing light source coming from a very far away galaxy as shown in the figure above. The scientists are debating whether the light being observed is coming from a single light source or two different light sources. You as a...

From the surface of the Earth under very good conditions, we can resolve an angular size of about 1.0 arc second. When Mars is 0.49 AU away, calculate the linear size (in kilometers) of a feature on the surface that would appear to be 2 arc seconds across. The Hubble Space Telescope can resolve about 0.04 arc-, what size on Mars does this correspond to? The linear size of the feature would bekm The linear size of an object that...

On Jan. 2 this year, Earth was 1.471x10^13 cm from the Sun, its closest point to the Sun. The semi-major axis of Earth's orbit around the Sun is 1AU (1.496x10^13 cm. Use this information to determine: A. The eccentricity of Earth's orbit around the Sun. B. The difference between the maximum distance between the Earth and Sun, and the minimum distance between the Earth and the Sun. Convert your answer to AU
