A telescope can be used to enlarge the diameter of a laser beam and limit diffraction spreading. The laser beam is sent through the eyepiece and out the objective, and can then be projected onto a satellite or the Moon.
a. If this is done with the Mount Wilson telescope, producing a 2.1 m diameter beam of 690 nm light, what is the minimum angular spread, in radians, of the beam?
b. Neglecting atmospheric effects, what is the diameter of the spot this beam would make on the Moon, assuming a lunar distance of 3.84×108 m?
A particular person's pupil is 4.5 mm in diameter, and the person's normal‑sighted eye is most sensitive at a wavelength of 552 nm. What is angular resolution ?R of the person's eye, in radians?

- 4. a. Determine the size of the Airy disk (in m) found at the center of a 4.00-cm diameter lens, with a focal length of 15.0 cm. Assume the incident light wavelength is the middle of the visible spectrum = 550. nm. b. In observational astronomy, we assume that stars, being so far away, are point sources of light, and that the image of a star in a telescope eyepiece is therefore also a point. Given that the average human near-field resolution is 0.10 mm, does your result in part a justify this assumption? Explain your answer, using the value from part a. c. Assume that the objective lens diffraction limit is the only one that matters on a telescope (actually a good assumption, not justified here). What is the angular size (in radians) of the smallest object that can be truly observed as a disk on the 4.00-cm telescope in part a?

They are long, hollow cylinders with a diameter of about 25 nm. It is possible to incorporate fluorescentmolecules into microtubules; when illuminated by ultraviolet light, the fluorescent molecules emit visible light that can be imaged by the optical system of a microscope. If the emitted light has a wavelength of 500 nm and the NA of the microscope objective is 1.4, can a biologist looking through the microscope tell whether she is looking at a single microtubule or at two microtubules lying side by side?arrow_forward
