Question

I need help with this problem.

The angular resolution e (measured in arcseconds) of a telescope is given by
0 = 2.06 × 10% (1)
where X is the wavelength of observed light and D is the diameter of the aperture of the
telescope.
Suppose you are studying neutral hydrogen gas that emits radio waves with a frequency
of f=1420 MHz. You get a brand new telescope with an aperture that is 1.75 times larger
than your old telescope. The resolution of your new telescope is what factor bigger or
smaller than your old telescope? l.e.
