The resolving power (in radians) of a telescope whose objective has diameter D is 0 = 1.22 for light of wavelength A. You want to build telescope that can resolve 4 meter objects on the surface of the moon from earth, a distance of about 400,000 km (so that you can prove once and for all that moon landings are a hoax). About how large must the objective mirror (or lens) of your telescope be? (hint: use A = 410 nm) The resolving power (in radians) of a telescope whose objective has diameter D is 0 = 1.22 for light of wavelength A.
