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

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

=> $D = \frac{1.22 * \lambda }{\theta }$

=> $D = \frac{1.22 * 700 *10^{-9} }{ 1.454 *10^{-6} }$

=> $D = 0.59 \ m$

A negatively charged rod is placed near two neutral metal spheres, as shown below. Which statements describe the charging method

grin007 [14]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

<em>The spheres develop opposite charges. </em>
<em>Electrons move from Sphere A to Sphere B. </em>
<em>The spheres are charged through induction.</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<u><em>When a negatively charged rod is placed near two neutral metal spheres, the spheres will develop opposite charges, because the neutral metal spheres have both negative and positive charges. </em></u>From the basic law of electrostatics unlike charges attracts and like charges repel.
Thus, <em><u>the sphere will develop opposite charges, electrons will move from Sphere A to sphere B,</u></em> hence we say that the spheres will be charged by induction such that sphere A will acquire a positive charge while sphere B will acquire negative charge.
