Assume that light of wavelength is coming from a star. The limit of resolution of telescope whose objective has a diameter of is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Limit of resolution of a telescope is given by,
{ϑ}_\min = \dfrac{1 . 22\lambda}{a}, where is the wavelength of the light and is the aperture diameter.
Given,
{ϑ}_\min = \dfrac{1 . 22 \times 6 \times {10}^{- 7}}{2}
⇒ {ϑ}_\min = 3 . 66 \times {10}^{- 7}rad
