![There are several spectral features that can be used to characterise galax-
ies, including the Hydrogen-a emission at 656.3 nm and the Hydrogen-
emission at 486.8 nm.
For the Hydrogen-a emission, the spectrograph on the FET just gives
sufficient resolution to resolve the emission line, which has a width of
100 km s¹. Calculate the ruling density necessary to observe the Hydrogen-
ß emission line at the same resolution, if the observations are taken in first
order and in 1-arcsecond seeing.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe4c50d4f-65da-4f27-90a4-282a6bf2bd38%2F7c12d7b7-a933-47fb-a3ae-23b64749270d%2F23o2xw_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
