What do we mean by the diffraction limit of a telescope? What do we mean by the diffraction limit of a telescope? It is the maxi

mum size to which any telescope can be built. It describes the farthest distance to which the telescope can see. It describes the maximum exposure time for images captured with the telescope. It is the best angular resolution the telescope could achieve with perfect optical quality and in the absence of atmospheric distortion.

Answer:

It is the best angular resolution the telescope could achieve with perfect optical quality and in the absence of atmospheric distortion.

Explanation:

When looking through a telescope or microscope due to imperfections of the lenses or misalignment, two sources may appear. The angular space between these two sources can be found by calculating the wavelength of the light observed divided by the diameter of the telescope.

How does a bimetallic strip work in a sinple alarm system​
tatiyna
The bimetallic strip in a fire alarm is made of two metals with different expansion rates bonded together to form one piece of metal. Typically, the low-expansion side is made of a nickel-iron alloy called Invar, while the high-expansion side is an alloy of copper or nickel. The strip is electrically energized with a low-voltage current. When the strip is heated by fire, the high-expansion side bends the strip toward an electrical contact. When the strip touches that contact, it completes a circuit that triggers the alarm to sound. The width of the gap between the contacts determines the temperature that will set off the alarm.

Object will be stable if its center of gravity lies over its base of support.

If the center of gravity is above the center of buoyancy then it provides positive righting moment and the object floats over the liquid and such object is said to possess positive meta-centric height.
