A binary star system has an angular separation between the two stars of 3.2 × 10-5 radians. If 2 = 6.6 x 10-7 m, what is the smallest aperture (diameter) telescope that may be used to resolve the two stars? Write your answer in cm.
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?
An amateur astronomer wants to build a telescope with a diffraction limit that will allow him to see if there are people on the moons of Jupiter. (a) What diameter mirror is needed to be able to see 1.00 m detail on a Jovian Moon at a distance of 7.50×108 km from Earth? The wavelength of light averages 600 nm. (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
The force exerted by an electric charge at the origin on a charged particle at the point (x, y, z) with position Kr = (x, y, z) is F(F) = where K is constant. vector 7= 3' 171³ Assume K = 30. Find the work done as the particle moves along a straight line from (3,0,0) to (3,4,2).
