Assuming the angular resolution for the Hubble Telescope to be 2.86 ✕ 10−7 rad, what is the smallest detail that could be observed on Venus when it is closest to Earth? (Give the size of the smallest detail in meters. Assume the distance from the Hubble Telescope to the surface of Venus is approximately 3.82 ✕ 1010 m.)
(Answer in m.)
Homework Answers
Given,
The angular resolution, 
= 2.86 *
10-7 rad
The distance from telescope to the surface of Venus, r = 3.82 * 1010 m
The smallest detail that is observed on Venus when closest
to Earth, s = r *
s = 3.82 * 1010 * 2.86 * 10-7
= 10.925 * 103 m

If you don't solve this problem correctly in 3 tries, you can get a hint. Use the angular resolution for the Hubble Telescope to determine the smallest detail which it can observe on the moon, if the moon is 3.82 x 10 m away.

In Tolkein's "The Lord of The RIngs" Legolas the elf can accurately count horsemen and discern their hair color from a distance of 5 leagues on a bright, sunny day. Assume one leage is 5km, and that you can distinguish hair color if you resolve the head of a horseman, which has a typical size of 20cm. You may neglect curvature of the earth. a). Assuming elves have eyes that are optimized for optical light as we see (peak wavelength=5500Å),...

Tethers are long dangling wires that use the velocity of a spacecraft through the Earth's magnetic field to generate electrical power. Alternatively, electrical currents pushed through the tether might be used to change the spacecraft velocity for either propulsion or for braking and reentry. Several 'space tether experiments have been flown to investigate the possible use if Faraday's law for power generation and/or propulsion. Examples are the 1996 joint US/Italy effort to deploy a 20 km tether from one of...
