The diameter of the objective lens of a ...

The diameter of the objective lens of a telescope is `5.0m` and wavelength of light is `6000 Å`. The limit of resolution of this telescope will be

A

`0.03 sec`

B

`3.03 sec`

C

`0.06 sec`

D

`0.15 sec`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Limit of resolution `=(1.22lambda)/(a)xx(180)/(pi)`(in degree)
`=((1.22xx(6000xx10^(-10)))/(5)xx(180)/(pi))^(@)=0.03 sec`
