Answer: the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm
Explanation:
Given that;
diameter of the mirror d = 1.7 m
height h = 180 km = 180 × 10³ m
wavelength λ = 500 nm = 5 × 10⁻⁹ m
Now Angular separation from the peak of the central maximum is expressed as;
sin∅= 1.22 λ / d
sin∅ = (1.22 × 5 × 10⁻⁹) / 1.7
sin∅ = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷
we know that;
sin∅ = object separation / distance from telescope
object separation =
sin∅ × distance from telescope
object separation = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷ × 180 × 10³
object separation =6.45 × 10⁻² m
then we convert to centimeter
object separation = 6.45 cm
Therefore the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

<span>You should increase the distance between your car and the vehicle ahead when you are being tailgated by another driver.
Tailgated is a condition when the vehicle behind you is very close to you that there is no distance between your vehicle and the vehicle behind you. In that case you should increase distance from the vehicle ahead to avoid collision in any case. These days people were mostly in hurry and everyone want to go ahead, so tailgating is very common.</span>
@AL2006 had answered this before: Well, first of all, wherever you got this question from has done
a really poor job of question-writing. There are a few assorted
blunders in the question, both major and minor ones:
-- 22,500 is the altitude of a geosynchronous orbit in miles, not km.
-- That figure of 22,500 miles is its altitude above the surface,
not its radius from the center of the Earth.
-- The orbital period of a synchronous satellite has to match
the period of the Earth's rotation, and that's NOT 24 hours.
It's about 3 minutes 56 seconds less ... about 86,164 seconds.
Here's my solution to the question, using some of the wreckage
as it's given, and correcting some of it. If you turn in these answers
as homework, they'll be marked wrong, and you'll need to explain
where they came from. If that happens, well, serves ya right for
turning in somebody else's answers for homework.
The satellite is traveling a circle. The circle's radius is 26,200 miles
(not kilometers) from the center of the Earth, so its circumference
is (2 pi) x (26,200 miles) = about 164,619 miles.
Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
= (164,619 miles) / day
(264,929 km)
= 6,859 miles per hour
(11,039 km)
= 1.91 miles per second
(3.07 km)
The answer is b) false. Stars are mainly classified by their spectra (the elements they absorb) and their temperature.
