Pluto and its moon Charon are separated by 19600 km. An undergraduate researcher wants to determine if the 5.08 m diameter Mount Palomar telescope can resolve these bodies when they are 5.40×109 km from Earth (neglecting atmospheric effects). Assume an average wavelength of 545 nm. To determine the answer, calculate the ratio of the telescope's angular resolution ?T to the angular separation ?PC of the celestial bodies.

In June 1985, a laser beam was sent out from the Air Force Optical Station on Maui, Hawaii, and reflected back from the shuttle Discovery as it sped by, 354 km overhead. The diameter of the central maximum of the beam at the shuttle position was said to be 9.1 m, and the beam wavelength was 550 nm. What is the effective diameter of the laser aperture at the Maui ground station? (Hint: A laser beam spreads only because of diffraction; assume a circular exit aperture.
