Optics Question 432

Question: The angular resolution of a 10 cm diameter telescope at a wavelength of 5000 Å is of the order

[CBSE PMT 2005]

Options:

A) $ 10^{6}rad $

B) $ {{10}^{-2}}rad $

C) $ {{10}^{-4}}rad $

D) $ {{10}^{-6}}rad $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Angular resolution $ d\theta =\frac{1.22\lambda }{a} $

$ =\frac{1.22\times 5000\times 10\times {{10}^{-10}}}{10\times {{10}^{-2}}} $

$ =6.1\times {{10}^{-6}}rad $ .
