C. change length and direction

Explanation:

The density of the material in which the light wave is travelling affects the speed of the wave. Different materials have different densities and they effect differently light waves which travel through them. Light waves may change direction at the boundary between two transparent materials, depending on material density. Density also impacts the speed of light. The denser the material, the slower light travels through it. The wavelength also decreases as light travels through the denser medium.

As what Douglas Adams says, "<span>Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."

The fact that the stars are very far from Earth, one can't fully understand the stars as it would require hundred of years to closely travel from earth to the stars because it is located million miles away from the Earth. Aside from its location, the stars are also hard to closely study because it emits lights that are harm for people when exposed longer. </span>

We intend to observe two distant equal brightness stars whose angular separation is 50.0 × 10-7 rad. Assuming a mean wavelength
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

13.4cm

Explanation:

According to Rayleigh’s criterion the angular resolution to distinguish two objects is given by:

\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{b}

θ = 50.0*10^-7 rad

λ: wavelength of the light = 550nm

b = diameter of the objective

By doing b the subject of the formula and replacing the values of the angle and wavelength you obtain:

b=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}=1.22\frac{550*10^{-9}m}{50.0*10^{-7}rad}=0.134m=13.4cm

hence, the smallest diameter objective lens is 13.4cm
