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 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 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.

Two lightbulbs are 1.0 m apart. From what distance can these lightbulbs be marginally resolved by a small telescope with a 4.0-cm -diameter objective lens? Assume that the lens is limited only by diffraction and 1 = 600 nm. Express your answer with the appropriate units.

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

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.

The two headlights of an approaching automobile are 1.4 m apart. At what (a) angular separation and (b) maximum distance will the eye resolve them? Assume that the pupil diameter is 5.0 mm, and use a wavelength of 524 nm for the light. Also assume that diffraction effects alone limit the resolution so that Rayleigh's criterion can be applied, in meters.

The two headlights of an approaching automobile are 1.3 m apart. At what (a) angular separation and (b) maximum distance will the eye resolve them? Assume that the pupil diameter is 5.0 mm, and use a wavelength of 560 nm for the light. Also assume that diffraction effects alone limit the resolution so that Rayleigh's criterion can be applied, in meters.

Two equally charged particles, held 3.0 x 10-3 m apart, are released from rest. The initial acceleration of the first particle is observed to be 7.9 m/s2 and that of the second to be 9.7 m/s2. If the mass of the first particle is 5.3 x 10-7 kg, what are (a) the mass of the second particle and (b) the magnitude of the charge (in C) of each particle?
