How does the resolving power of the 5-m telescope on Mount Palomar near San Diego compare with that of the 2.5-m Hubble Space Telescope?

(1) 6. (5) The Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth every 95 minutes, taking breathtaking images of our universe. Calculate its altitude above the Earth's Surface. Fc N 47₁1² T2 r ? 11 G GM = 3√T²2GM G₂

Geostationary satellites cannot be seen in a telescope from Albany because they are always directly over the Equator. True False

What is bandwidth in an optical instrument? How does it relate to resolution and noise in an optical instrument?

You observe two objects with the same telescope. The telescope is only able to gather visible light. The light you observe from object A has a longer wavelength than the light you observe from object B. Based on this information, which of the following statments MUST be true Light is being reflected from object A Light observed from object B is bluer Light observed from object A is redder Light is being reflected from object B Light is being scattered from object B

Two stars are separated by 1 x 10" m and are 4 light years away. Calculate the resolving power of the Hubble Space Telescope, with a diameter of 2.4m, at this distance. Can the Hubble Space Telescope resolve the two stars? Assume the wavelength of light is 650nm. (Hint: Look up the conversion of light years to meters.)

why is ultraviolet light (320 nm) more penetrating than a red light (700nm)

Suppose you want a telescope that would allow you to see distinguishing features as small as 6.5 km on the Moon some 384,000 km away. Assume an average wavelength of 550 nm for the light received. What is the minimum diameter of the mirror (in centimeters) that you could use in the telescope?
