4. Light of wavelength 589 nm is used to view an object under a microscope. If the aperture of the objective has a diameter of 0.9 cm, what is the limiting angle of resolution? If the light is in the visible range, what would be the maximum limit of resolution for this microscope?

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.

A vehicle with headlights separated by 1.95 m approaches an observer holding an infrared detector sensitive to radiation of wavelength 885 nm. What aperture diameter is required in the detector if the two headlights are to be resolved at a distance of 26.0 km? mm

A camera has a lens diameter of 0.0444 m. What wavelength of light IN NANOMETERS must it use to resolve two objects 550 m away that are 0.00718 m apart? [?] nm Hints: Solve for A! The answer should be between 400 and 700. Remember, nano means 10-9.

Yellow light of wavelength 580 nm is used to view an object under a microscope. The objective lens diameter is 9.15 mm. (a) What is the limiting angle of resolution? prad (b) Suppose it is possible to use visible light of any wavelength. What color should you choose to give the smallest possible angle of resolution, and what is this angle? color ---Select--- angle prad (c) Suppose water fills the space between the object and the objective. What effect does this change have on the resolving power when 580-nm light is used? effect ---Select--- minimum resolvable angle prad

10. You have a single-slit diffraction apparatus, with a slit 4.60 × 10−6 m wide arranged 1.80 m from the screen. You would like an anti-node to appear 68.2 cm from the right bisector. What are two possible visible wavelengths you could use?

You've got binoculars with 28-mm-diameter lenses. You're observing two bees on a flower 840 m distant. What's the minimum separation between the bees for you to be able to resolve them as two distinct insects? Assume visible light with 590-nm wavelength.

The lens of a telescope has a diameter of 25 cm. You are using it to look at two stars that are 2 × 10 17 m away from you and 6 × 10 9 m from each other. You are measuring light with a wavelength of 700 nm. As the light goes through the lens, it diffracts. a. Is it possible, using this telescope, to see the two stars as separate stars?  b. What is the minimum possible lens diameter you would need in order to resolve these two stars?
