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

    A) \[\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{6}}}\text{rad}\] 

    B)                        \[\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{rad}\]     

    C)        \[\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-4}}}\text{rad}\]                     

    D)        \[\text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-6}}}\text{rad}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

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