Large telescopes often have small fields of view, i.e. it can only see a very small corner of the sky. For example, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera has a field of view that is roughly square and about 0.055 degree on a side. How do I Calculate the angular area of the HST's field of view in square degrees?
The James Webb Space Telescope, the replacement for the
Hubble Telescope, will have a diameter (aperture) of 6.5 m.
Calculate the minimum angular separation that two stars could
have and still be resolvable.
You wish to observe an astronomical object whose
spectrum peaks in the UV. This object is bright and you
want to study its absorption lines, so you need a detailed
spectrum. Please describe the type of telescope
(refracting vs reflecting) you would want to use as well
as where it should be located for best effect. You should
also consider if you need a large telescope or a small one
would suffice.

Hint: Do not use the small-angle approximation in this problem. Two antennas, one directly above the other, are separated by a distance d. A horizontal dashed line begins at the midpoint between the antennas and extends to the right. A point labeled O is a horizontal distance x from the line's left end. A car is shown to be a distance y directly above point O. An arrow extends from the car, indicating its direction of motion, and points toward the top of the page.
