Observing Jupiter. You are asked to design a space telescope for earth orbit. When Jupiter is 5.93 × 108 km away (its closest approach to the earth), the telescope is to resolve, by Rayleigh’s criterion, features on Jupiter that are 250 km apart. What minimum-diameter mirror is required? Assume a wavelength of 500 nm.
