Using Rayleigh's criterion, calculate the diameter of an earth-based telescope that gives this resolution with 700 nm light.
pogonyaev

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

So

       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

How can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
I am absolutely sure that the way how can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter is of course by connecting a. low resistance across the meter. You should remember that you must connect <span>a shunt resistor straight across the galvanometer. Do hope this answer will help you! Regards.</span>

There is a 3-kg toy cart moving at 4 m/s. Calculate the kinetic<br> energy of the cart.
m_a_m_a [10]

The kinetic energy of the cart is 24 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The acceleration of a given mass from rest to the velocity is known as kinetic energy. It gains energy from acceleration and remains in this state until the speed of the object changes.  

The kinetic energy is the given by,

                           K.E = 1/2 mv^2

Given the mass m = 3 kg,        v = 4 m / s.

                            K.E = 1/2 \times 3 \times (4)^2          

                          K.E  = 24 J.

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of small vehicle compared to a large vehicle
Nadusha1986 [10]
The kinetic energy for a large vehicle is different from that of a smaller vehicle, assuming that the vehicles are travelling at the same speed and stopping the same distance. This is because for a larger vehicle the kinetic energy is higher, as the mass for a larger vehicle, is more than the smaller vehicle.
