Question

V1031 is just visible to the naked eye of an astronomer when her pupil diameter is \( 7 \mathrm{~mm} \). or No. app. \( M \) is 10 . Suggest whether she can observe WASP-82 using a telescope with an objective diameter of \( 60 \mathrm{~mm} \). Support your answer with a calculation.

Step 1

We need to determine if the astronomer can observe WASP-82 with a telescope that has an objective diameter of 60 mm, given that V1031 is just visible to the naked eye when the pupil diameter is 7 mm and has an apparent magnitude (M) of 10. Show more…
