Question

Find the minimum telescope aperture diameter (cm) that could resolve an object with angular diameter 0.35 arcsecond, observed at 349-nm wavelength. Note: 1 arcsecond = (1/3600)°, and you also need to convert it to radian.

Step 1

Convert the angular diameter from arcseconds to radians: 0.35 arcseconds * (1/3600) degrees/arcsecond * (π/180) radians/degree ≈ 1.69 × 10^{-6} radians Show more…
