The Hubble Space Telescope has a mirror diameter of 2.4 m. Suppose the telescope is used to photograph stars near the center of our galaxy, 30,000 light years away, using red light with a wavelength of 720 nm . A) What's the distance (in km) between two stars that are marginally resolved? The resolution of a reflecting telescope is calculated exactly the same as for a refracting telescope. B) For comparison, what is this distance as a multiple of the...

A spy satellite uses a telescope with a 1.5-m-diameter mirror. It orbits the earth at a height of 220 km. What minimum spacing must there be between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope? Assume the telescope's resolution is limited only by diffraction and that it records 500 nm light.

The Hubble Space Telescope (still operational) has a mirror with a diameter of 2.4 m. What is the maximum resolution of Hubble when observing Mars at closest approach (typically 7.5 x 1010 m away)? Since Mars is mostly red, assume the light is reddish, with a wavelength of 630 nm. Could Hubble resolve the Endeavor crater (diameter 22 km) on Mars? 1. 2. Calculate the angle of incidence at which light reflecting off of crown glass (with an index of...
