Answer:

The smallest diameter is D =122 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The resolution of the telescope is \theta  =  0.00350 \ arc \ second

           The wavelength is  \lambda = 1.70 \mu m = 1.70 *10^{-6} \ m

From the question we are told that

        1 arc \ sec = \frac{1}{3600^o}

So      0.00350 \ arc \ second = x

Therefore

             x =  0.00350  *  \frac{1}{3600 }

              x = ( 9.722*10^{-7} )^o

Now  1^o  =  \frac{\pi}{180}

   So  (9.722*10^{-7})^o =  \theta

  =>    \theta  =  (9.722*10^{-7}) * \frac{\pi}{180}

           \theta  =  1.69*10^{-8} rad

The smallest diameter is mathematically represented  as

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

substituting values

           D = \frac{1.22 * 1.7 *10^{-6}} {1.69 *10^{-8}  }

           D =122 \ m

Big bang theorists believe that the universe is expanding and will eventually contract.
Zina [86]

The statement ‘Big bang theorists believe that the universe is expanding and will eventually contract’ is false. The answer is letter B. The big bang theory suggests that the origin of the universe began with that exploded and expanded. It also states that the universe began in a single form of high condensed reactive matter and exploded forming the galaxies, planets, stars and other celestial bodies.

Acid mine drainage is:
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.

Explanation:

Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.

Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.

The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.
