For a telescope to have large resolving power,the

How to increase the resolving power of a telescope and a microscope?

Two points separated by a distance of $0.1\,mm$ can just be resolved in a microscope when a light of wavelength $6000\ \mathring{A}$ is used. If the light of wavelength $4800\ \mathring{A}$ is used,this limit of resolution becomes.......$mm$.

An astronaut is looking down on the Earth's surface from a space shuttle at an altitude of $400 \, km$. Assuming that the astronaut's pupil diameter is $5 \, mm$ and the wavelength of visible light is $500 \, nm$,the astronaut will be able to resolve a linear object of the size of about ........ $m$.

The diameter of the objective of a telescope is $200 \text{ cm}$. What is the resolving power of the telescope? Take the wavelength of light $\lambda = 5000 \text{ \AA}$.

$A$ telescope has an objective lens of $10\, cm$ diameter and is situated at a distance of $1\, km$ from two objects. The minimum distance between these two objects which can be resolved by the telescope,when the mean wavelength of light is $5000\,\mathring{A}$,is the order of
