How does the resolving power of the 5-m telescope on Mount Palomar near San Diego compare with that of the 2.5-m Hubble Space Telescope? Why does the HST generally still outperform the Palomar 5-m telescope?
Problem 5:
What is the resolving power of a 25-cm (10-in.) telescope at a wavelength of 550 nm (in the middle of the visual band)? What do two stars 1.5 arc seconds apart look like through this telescope at that wavelength?
