V Part A Consider a telescope with a small circular aperture of diameter 2.0 centimeters. If two point sources of light are being imaged by this telescope, what is the maximum wavelength A at which the two can be resolved if their angular separation is 3.0 x 10- radians? Express your answer in nanometers to two significant figures.

If this resolving power is diffraction-limited, to what effective diameter of your eye's optical system does this correspond? Use Rayleigh's criterion and assume that the wavelength of the light is 540 nm . Express your answer in millimeters to three significant figures.

If a planet happened to be orbiting this star at an orbital radius equal to that of the Earth-Sun distance, what minimum diameter would an Earth-based telescope's aperture have to be in order to obtain an image that resolved this star-planet system? Assume the light emitted by the star and planet has a wavelength of 650 nm . The Earth-Sun distance is 149.6 x 10' km, and 1 ly = 9.461 x 10 m. Express your answer to one significant figure and include the appropriate units. HA FOE ? D = Value Units Submit Request
