Answer:
θ’ = θ₀ / 2
we see that the resolution angle is reduced by half
Explanation:
The resolving power of a radar is given by diffraction, for which we will use the Rayleigh criterion for the resolution of two point sources, they are considered resolved if the maximum of diffraction of one coincides with the first minimum of the other.
The first minimum occurs for m = 1, so the diffraction equation of a slit remains
a sin θ = λ
in general, the diffraction patterns occur at very small angles, so
sin θ = θ
θ = λ / a
in the case of radar we have a circular aperture and the equation must be solved in polar coordinates, which introduces a numerical constant.
θ = 1.22 λ /a
In this exercise we are told that the opening changes
a’ = 2 a
we substitute
θ ‘= 1.22 λ / 2a
θ' = (1.22 λ / a) 1/2
θ’ = θ₀ / 2
we see that the resolution angle is reduced by half
Explanation:
Given that,
Magnitude of vector A, |A| = 15
Magnitude of vector B, |B| = 25
We need to find the magnitude of this sum.
The maximum sum of the resultant vector,

The minimum sum of the resultant vector,

So, the magnitude of this sum either 45 or -10.
If each side is 0.1 feet extra,
The volume will be 5.1*2.1*1.1= about 11.781.
Perhaps this helps.
