The diameter of the objective of the telescope is $0.1 \ m$ and the wavelength of light is $6000 \ \mathring{A}$. Its resolving power would be approximately:

  • A
    $7.32 \times 10^{-6} \ rad$
  • B
    $1.36 \times 10^{6} \ rad$
  • C
    $7.32 \times 10^{-5} \ rad$
  • D
    $1.36 \times 10^{5} \ rad$

If the wavelengths of light used in an optical instrument are $\lambda_1 = 4000 \, \mathring A$ and $\lambda_2 = 5000 \, \mathring A$,what will be the ratio of their resolving powers?

$A$ telescope of diameter $2 \ m$ uses light of wavelength $5000 \ \mathring{A}$ for viewing stars. The minimum angular separation between two stars whose image is just resolved by this telescope is

$A$ telescope is used to observe two objects at a distance of $z = 10 \ km$ which are $s = 0.12 \ m$ apart and illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda = 600 \ nm$. Estimate the diameter of the objective lens of the telescope if it can just resolve the two objects. Assume diameter $D >> \lambda$ and separation between objects $s << z$. The answer is in $cm$.

The limit of resolution of a telescope is $3.0 \times 10^{-7} \text{ rad}$. Assuming that it is used to see the light of wavelength $525 \text{ nm}$ from a star, what should be the diameter of the objective (in $\text{ m}$)?

The diameter of the objective lens of a microscope makes an angle $\beta$ at the focus of the microscope. Further,the medium between the object and the lens is an oil of refractive index $n$. Then the resolving power of the microscope
