Question

Two starts 15 light years away are barely resolved by a 55cmtelescope. How far are the stars? Assume lambda is 550nm andresolution is limited by diffraction. given: d (stars)= 15 ly D= 55 cm Lambda= 550 nm Formulas:
= 1.22(Lambda)/ D d = L Conversion 15 lightyears x (9.46x1015/ 1lightyears)= 1.41 x 1017 Question: If you see the solution for giancolli physics book ch 25 51Pthey detail the solution. We find theta to be 1.22x10-6. We then use d = L to solve for L; therefore d/ = L. Explain why this isnot the case and according to book they get right answer. Please donot assume, and explain everything CLEARY. Thank you- will ratefull. :) Two starts 15 light years away are barely resolved by a 55cmtelescope. How far are the stars?

Explanation / Answer

d is not 15 ly, L is 15 ly. you have to find d your value of is correct. hope this helps!
