Question

The Hubble telescope in orbit above the earth has a 2.4 m circular

aperture. The telescope has equipment for detecting ultraviolet light.

The minimum angular separation between two objects that the

telescope can resolve in ultraviolet light of wavelength 95 nm

Answer 1

Explanation:

a2 + b2 = c2

Put in what we know: 52 + 122 = c2

Calculate squares: 25 + 144 = c2

25+144=169: 169 = c2

Swap sides: c2 = 169

Square root of both sides: c = √169

Calculate: the suns mass
