Astronomers have discovered a planetary system orbiting a star, which is at a distance of 5.2 × 1018 m from the earth. One planet is believed to be located at a distance of 1.9 × 1010 m from the star. Using visible light with a vacuum wavelength of 557 nm, what is the minimum necessary aperture diameter that a telescope must have so that it can resolve the planet and the star?

Astronomers have discovered a planetary system orbiting a star, which is at a distance of 3.9 × 1019 m from the earth. One planet is believed to be located at a distance of 1.9 × 1010 m from the star. Using visible light with a vacuum wavelength of 543 nm, what is the minimum necessary aperture diameter that a telescope must have so that it can resolve the planet and the star?

Tau Ceti is a star that is located 11.753 ly away. There
is a planet orbiting this star with an orbital radius of 0.538 AU
(AU stands for astronimcal unit - the average distance between
Earth & the Sun). Fill in the table below by determining the
minimum diameter the objective of a telescope would need to be in
order to resolve the planet from the star at the stated
wavelengths. 1 ly = 9.461 × 1015 m & 1...

1.) At what distance would a satellite orbiting the Earth be geosynchronous (orbiting the Earth once every 24 hours)? It would be geosynchronous at _________ × 104 m from the center of the Earth or __________× 104 m from the Earth's surface. 2.) Hydrogen also produces spectral lines at radio wavelengths, notably at 21.1 cm. If a galaxy is moving away from us at 9% of the speed of light, at what wavelength will we detect this line? Convert this...

Sometime around 2022, astronomers at the European Southern Observatory hope to begin using the E-ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope), which is planned to have a primary mirror 42 m in diameter. Let us assume that the light it focuses has a wavelength of 520 nm. (1 light-year =9.461x 1015 m) Note: Jupiter's Diameter di 1.43 x 108 m 1) What is the most distant Jupiter-sized planet the telescope could resolve, assuming it operates at the diffraction limit? (Express your answer...

Over 500 planets have so far been detected beyond our solar system. This is accomplished by looking for the effect the planet has on the star. The star is not truly stationary; instead, it and its planets orbit around the center of mass of the system. Astronomers can measure this wobble in the position of a star. a.) For a star with the mass and size of our sun and having a planet with two times the mass of Jupiter,...
