Assume that light of wavelength `6000 Å` is coming from a star. What is the limit of resolution of a telescope whose objective has a diameter of 100 inch ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the limit of resolution of a telescope, we can use the Rayleigh criterion formula for angular resolution, which is given by: \[ \theta = 1.22 \frac{\lambda}{D} \] Where: - \(\theta\) is the angular resolution in radians, ...
