1. If the cross-track angular resolution of a satellite sensor at nadir is given by 1.4 /D where is thewavelength being observed and D is the aperture size of the sensor, what is the cross-track spatial resolution on theground if D = 80 cm and the satellite sensor is at an orbital height of 600 km?(a) for an infrared sensor observing wavelengths at 20 microns?(b) for a microwave sensor observing wavelengths at 1.5 cm?=

Given that:θ=1.4λDD=80 cm=0.8 mL=600 km=600×103 ma) λ=20 μm=20×10-6 mb) λ=1.5 cm=1.5×10-2 m
