Two stars have an angular separation of 7.45 x 10-8 rad when viewed in the night sky from Earth. Determine the minimum diameter of a telescope's circular aperture if the two stars are to be angularly resolved at a wavelength of 570 nm. m
13. The Hubble space telescope has diffraction-limited optics determined by the aperture (mirror size) of 2.40 m diameter. It detects light emitted from two stars having a wavelength of 656 nm. The two stars are very close to each other and are at a distance of 7.57 x 10¹7 m from Earth. If the telescope is just able to resolve the stars as separate images, find the approximate distance separating them in meters.

Telescopes are an essential tool for astronomers to study the universe. You plan to build your own telescope that can resolve the Great Red Spot on the surface of Jupiter at a wavelength of 600 nm. The farthest distance between the Earth and Jupiter is 968 x 10° km and the Great Red Spot has currently a diameter of 16,500 km. (a) Use the Rayleigh criterion to determine the diameter of the lens' aperture of your telescope that is needed to resolve the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. Impacts have formed many craters on the Moon's surface. You would like to study some of the craters with your new telescope. The distance between Moon and Earth is 384,400 km. (b) What is the smallest possible size of the craters that your telescope can resolve?
