    The angle substanded by the first diffraction minimum for a point source viewed in the hydrogen line at 1420 MHz with a radio telescope having an aperture of 25 m is:  

    A) \[0.8{}^\circ \]

    B) \[0.64{}^\circ \]

    C) \[1.2{}^\circ ~\]

    D) \[2.2{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\lambda =\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{1420\times {{10}^{6}}}=0.214m\] \[\sin \theta =\frac{1.22\lambda }{d}=\frac{1.22\times 0.219}{25}=0.010\] or \[\theta ={{0.6}^{o}}\], and \[2\theta ={{1.2}^{o}}\]
