Diameter of the objective lens of a telescope is 250 cm. For light of wavelength 600 nm, coming from a distant object, the limit of resolution of the telescope is close to :

  1. A \( 1.5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ rad} \)
  2. B \( 2 \times 10^{-7} \text{ rad} \)
  3. C \( 3 \times 10^{-7} \text{ rad} \)
  4. D \( 4.5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ rad} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 3 \times 10^{-7} \text{ rad} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \theta = \frac{1.22 \lambda}{D} = \frac{1.22 \times 600 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m}}{250 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}} \approx 3 \times 10^{-7} \text{ rad} \)
