JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics

The aperture diameter of a telescope is \(5\; \mathrm{m} .\) The separation between the moon and the earth is \(4 \times 10^{5} \;\mathrm{km} .\) With light of wavelength of \(5500\;\mathring A\), the minimum separation between objects on the surface of moon, so that they are just resolved, is close to......\(m\)

  1. A \(20\)
  2. B \(600\)
  3. C \(60\)
  4. D \(200\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(60\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let distance is \(x\) then \(\mathrm{d} \theta=\frac{1.22 \lambda}{\mathrm{D}}(\mathrm{D}=\text { diameter })\) \(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{1.22 \lambda}{\mathrm{D}}(\mathrm{d}=\text { distance between earth }\;and\; \text { moon })\)…
