Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- 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?What is the angular resolution limit (degrees) set by diffraction for the 224-cmcm mirror diameter telescope (λλ=560 nmnm)?
- 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.)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.
- Suppose you want a telescope that would allow you to see distinguishing features as small as 6.5 km on the Moon some 384,000 km away. Assume an average wavelength of 550 nm for the light received. What is the minimum diameter of the mirror (in centimeters) that you could use in the telescope?Two narrow SIIts sepevated by 0.42 mm are IllUminated by mon0- chromattclight ot wavelength 00 407nm. Huw many brignt Vinger Can he seen on a Screen I,9cm wide Placed 18m in tron1 OF the sl1ts?These images show one of the large `VLT’ telescopes at the European Southern Observatory’s facility at Cerro Paranal, Chile. The place where the laser beam comes out (seen in the inset photo) is just out of sight off of the top edge of the large photo. Also note that if you look down the telescope tube (in the main photo), you can see the tube’s front-end structure. Imagine that this telescope had a flaw similar to the Hubble Space Telescope’s - its light-gathering element was shaped wrong. What problem would this cause for the telescope? Group of answer choices It would not be able to bring rays of light from a distant object to a focus. The imperfect shape would mean that it could focus rays of visible light, but not rays of light of any other wavelength. It wouldn’t be able to gather much light compared to the pupil of a human eye. It would mean that the telescope could only work if placed above the Earth’s atmosphere, like the Hubble telescope.
