You want to create a telescope with a resolving power of 0.100 arc seconds at a wavelength of 550 nm. What diameter (in m) do you need? If you want to increase the light gathering power by a factor of 10, by what factor does the diameter need to increase? What would the new resolving power be (in arc seconds)? Part 1 of 5 The resolving power of a telescope is given by a = 2.06 x 10° where both A and D must have the same units. Part 2 of 5 We need to solve this expression for the diameter. You should express your values in meters. 0.00000055 5.50e-07 m D = 2.06 x 105 0.100 arc seconds D = 1.133 1.13 m Part 3 of 5 The light gathering power of a telescope depends on the diameter squared.
