Consider a telescope on Earth that aims to distinguish (solve) two points over the moon separated by a distance of 1.7 km when the moon is at a distance of 3.8x105 km. By the Rayleigh resolution criterion, what is the minimum diameter of the opening of this telescope? Consider the wavelength equal to 0.55 µm
