Resolving Power
Converging lens of telescope cm in diameter has focal length cm. In the focal plane of the lens the distance between the centres of the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern is (wavelength of light used = Å, Rayleigh's criterion is satisfied)
Show answer and solution
Answer: (c)
- Angular separation for just-resolved images ; in the focal plane .
- Å
- Å
- So the answer is (c) Å.
