5. (i.) What is resolution? (ii.) What must be true in order for two objects to be resolvable? (iii.) Suppose a 5.0 m diameter telescope were constructed on the far side of the Moon. To prove that the viewing there would be excellent, what would be the separation between two objects that could just be resolved on Mars in 500. nm light? [Use the Mars-Moon distance of 80.5 million km.]
