- The diameter of the Arecibo radio telescope is 307 m. It can image radio source that emit electromagnetic waves with wavelength between 3 cm and 1 m. The Virgo Cluster is a cluster of galaxies whose center is ~53.8 Mly away from us. Assume the telescope is imaging at a wavelength of 63.3 cm and can just resolve two point sources of radio waves in the Virgo cluster. How close together could these point sources be, i.e. what is the minim distance between them in ly? Enter an integer.9. Consider TE oblique incidence with 30 degree incidence angle from the air (n=1) to the semiconduc tor (n=3.5). The optical wavelength is 1.5 µm. We want to coat a thin film on the semiconductor to achieve zero reflection for this particular case. The coating material is with the refractive index n and the thickness d.
