    The angular resolution of a 10 cm diameter telescope at a wavelength of \[5000\text{ }\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]is of the order

    A) \[{{10}^{6}}rad\]                    

    B) \[{{10}^{-2}}rad\]

    C) \[{{10}^{-4}}rad\]                   

    D) \[{{10}^{-6}}rad\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Angular resolution \[=\frac{1.22\lambda }{d}\] \[=\frac{1.22\times 5000\times {{10}^{-10}}}{10\times {{10}^{-2}}}\] \[=6.1\times {{10}^{-6}}\approx {{10}^{-6}}\,rad\] Aliter: Angular resolution \[d\theta =\frac{1.22\lambda }{a}\] \[=\frac{1.22\times 5000\times 10\times {{10}^{-10}}}{10\times {{10}^{-2}}}=6.1\times {{10}^{-6}}\,rad\]
