A telescope has an objective of diameter of 60 cm. The focal lengths of the objective and eye piece are 2.0 m and 1.0 cm respectively. The telescope is directed to view two distant almost point sources of light (e.g. two stars of a binary). The sources are at roughly the same distance (=10^4 light years) along the line of sight but separated transverse to the line of sight by a distnace of 10^10 m . what will the telescope resolve the two objects i.e. will it see two distinct stars?
