A telescope can be used to enlarge the diameter of a laser beam and limit diffraction spreading. The laser beam is sent through the telescope in opposite the normal direction and can then be projected onto a satellite or the Moon. If this is done with the Mount Wilson telescope, producing a 2.56-m diameter beam of 546-nm light, what is the minimum angular spread of the beam? rad
