Complete Question

Due to blurring caused by atmospheric distortion, the best resolution that can be obtained by a normal, earth-based, visible-light telescope is about 0.3 arcsecond (there are 60 arcminutes in a degree and 60 arcseconds in an arcminute).Using Rayleigh's criterion, calculate the diameter of an earth-based telescope that gives this resolution with 700 nm light

Answer:

The diameter is $D = 0.59 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The best resolution is $\theta = 0.3 \ arcsecond$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 700 \ nm = 700 *10^{-9 } \ m$

Generally the

1 arcminute = > 60 arcseconds

=> x arcminute => 0.3 arcsecond

$x = \frac{0.3}{60 }$

=> $x = 0.005 \ arcminutes$

Now

60 arcminutes => 1 degree

0.005 arcminutes = > z degrees

=> $z = \frac{0.005}{60 }$

=> $z = 8.333 *10^{-5} \ degree$

Converting to radian

$\theta = z = 8.333 *10^{-5} * 0.01745 = 1.454 *10^{-6} \ radian$

Generally the resolution is mathematically represented as

$\theta = \frac{1.22 * \lambda }{ D}$

=> $D = \frac{1.22 * \lambda }{\theta }$

=> $D = \frac{1.22 * 700 *10^{-9} }{ 1.454 *10^{-6} }$

=> $D = 0.59 \ m$

What two types of scientific knowledge can be expressed as mathematical equations? (Please don't tell me the answer could you pl

gtnhenbr [62]

An example would be 2 types of motion. It could be rectilinear or projectile motion. There are various equations for each type. Since you don't want me to tell you the answer, I could just express it in words. Then, it will be up to you to translate into mathematical equations.

For rectilinear motion, the distance traveled is equal to the initial velocity times the time, plus one-half of the acceleration times the square of the time. For projectile motion, the maximum distance is equal to the square of the initial velocity multiplied with the square of the sine of the launch angle, all over twice the gravity.
