The moon is approximately 400000 km from the earth. What should be the minimum diameter of the mirror of the telescope that would allow us the see two lunar creatures that are 8 km apart as separate objects? Take the wavelength of the moonlight to be 550 nm.
Answer should be D>3.4 cm

The objective lens of a certain refracting telescope has a diameter of 59.0 cm. The telescope is mounted in a satellite that orbits the Earth at an altitude of 335 km to view objects on the Earth's surface. Assuming an average wavelength of 500 nm, find the minimum distance between two objects on the ground if their images are to be resolved by this lens.

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.

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 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.
