Answer:
Option d
The minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is .
Explanation:
The resulting image in a telescope that will be gotten from an object is a diffraction pattern instead of a perfect point (point spread function (PSF)).
That diffraction pattern is gotten because the light encounters different obstacles on its path inside the telescope (interacts with the walls and edges of the instrument).
The diffraction pattern is composed by a central disk, called Airy disk, and diffraction rings.
The angular resolution is defined as the minimal separation at which two sources can be resolved one for another, or in other words, when the distance between the two diffraction pattern maxima is greater than the radius of the Airy disk.
The angular resolution can be determined in analytical way by means of the Rayleigh criterion.
(1)
Where is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the telescope.
Notice that it is necessary to express the wavelength in the same units than the diameter.
⇒
Finally, equation 1 can be used.
Hence, the minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is .
Complete Question:
Two 3.0µC charges lie on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at 2.0m. A third point is located at 6.0m. What is the potential at this third point relative to infinity? (The value of k is 9.0*10^9 N.m^2/C^2)
Answer:
The potential due to these charges is 11250 V
Explanation:
Potential V is given as;
where;
K is coulomb's constant = 9x10⁹ N.m²/C²
r is the distance of the charge
q is the magnitude of the charge
The first charge located at the origin, is 6.0 m from the third charge; the potential at this point is:
The second charge located at 2.0 m, is 4.0 m from the third charge; the potential at this point is:
Total potential due to this charges = 4500 V + 6750 V = 11250 V
