JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th April Evening Slot - No. 21)

Diameter of the objective lens of a telescope is 250 cm. For light of wavelength 600nm. coming from a distant object, the limit of resolution of the telescope is close to :-
3.0 × 10–7 rad
4.5 × 10–7 rad
1.5 × 10–7 rad
2.0 × 10–7 rad

Explanation

Limit of resolution = $${{1.22\lambda } \over d}$$

= $${{1.22 \times 600 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}} \over {250 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}}$$

= 2.9 × 10–7 rad.
