Calculate the limit of resolution of a telescope objective having a diameter of \(200\, cm\), if it has to detect light of wavelength \(500\, nm\) coming from a star
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(305\times10^{-9}\) radian
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Limit of resolution of telescope \(=\frac{1.22 \lambda}{\mathrm{D}}\)
\(\theta = \frac{{1.22 \times 500 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}}}{{200 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}}\) \( = 305 \times {10^{ - 9}}\,{\text{radian}}\)
