- Suppose a 5.00 m diameter telescope were constructed on the Moon, where the absence of atmospheric distortion would permit excellent viewing. If observations were made using 500 nm light, what minimum separation between two objects could just be resolved on Mars at closest approach (when Mars is 8.0 × 107 km from the Moon)?The lens of a giant human eye is about 7.4 cm in diameter. For visible light at 643nm, what is the diffraction limit in arcsec of a giant human eye?We wish to use the 15-cm-diameter objective from an amateur telescope to form an image on a CCD of a distant star. Assuming a mean wavelength of 540 nm and a focal length of +140 cm, determine the size of the resulting Airy disk. How would that change if we doubled the lens diameter, keeping all else constant?
- A camera has a lens diameter of 0.0444 m. What wavelength of light IN NANOMETERS must it use to resolve two objects 550 m away that are 0.00718 m apart? [?] nm Hints: Solve for A! The answer should be between 400 and 700. Remember, nano means 10-9.What is the angular resolution limit (degrees) set by diffraction for the 224-cmcm mirror diameter telescope (λλ=560 nmnm)?Your telescope has a diameter of D = 0.934 m. You use it to look at craters on the moon, which is L = 3.84e8 m away. Assuming you're observing with a wavelength of λ = 627 nm, what is the size (y) of the smallest crater you can resolve?
- Find the minimum telescope aperture that could resolve an object with angular diameter 0.35 arcsecond, observed at 520-nm wave- length. (Note: 1 arcsec = 1/3600°.)Two stars are separated by 1 x 10" m and are 4 light years away. Calculate the resolving power of the Hubble Space Telescope, with a diameter of 2.4m, at this distance. Can the Hubble Space Telescope resolve the two stars? Assume the wavelength of light is 650nm. (Hint: Look up the conversion of light years to meters.)If Superwoman had 0.12-nm wavelength x-ray vision and a 5.0-mm pupil diameter, at what maximum altitude could she distinguish villains from heroes assuming the minimum detail required is 4.8 cm?
