The James Webb Space Telescope or JWST for short is designed to measure star formation in the early universe. The light from star forming regions is typically dominated by near ultraviolet and far infrared radiation, but JWST will be observing at the red end of the visible and the near infrared. Explain how it will detect star formation or has NASA made a mistake.

The Hubble Space Telescope has a mirror of diameter $2.4 \mathrm{m}$. (a) Estimate the resolution of the telescope assuming that it operates at a wavelength of $5.5 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{m}$ (b) Suggest why the Hubble Space Telescope has an advantage over earth-based telescopes of similar mirror diameter.
