- (a) The planet Pluto and its Moon Charon are separated by 19,600 km. Neglecting atmospheric effects, should the 5.08-m-diameter Mount Palomar telescope be able to resolve these bodies when they are 4.50109 km from Earth? Assume an average wavelength of 550 nm. (b) In actuality, it is just barely possible to discern that Pluto and Charon are separate bodies using an Earth-based telescope. What are the reasons for this?arrow_forwardUnreasonable Results An amateur astronomer wants to build a telescope with a diffraction limit that will allow him to see if there are people on the moons of Jupiter. (a) What diameter mirror is needed to be able to see 1.00 m detail on a Jovian Moon at a distance of 7.50108 km from Earth? The wavelength of light averages 600 nm. (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?arrow_forwardQuasars, or quasi-stellar radio sources, are astronomical objects discovered in 1960. They are distant but strong emitters of radio waves with angular size so small, they were originally unresolved, the same as stars. The quasar 3C405 is actually two discrete radio sources that subtend an angle of 82 arcsec. If this object is studied using radio emissions at a frequency of 410 MHz, what is the minimum diameter of a radio telescope that can resolve the two sources?arrow_forward

A potential technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahigh-energy pulses of light that last for an extremely short amount of time. These short pulses scramble the interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses do.

Assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the face of one cancer cell for each pulse. a. How much energy is given to the cell during this pulse? Show your calculation. b. What is the intensity (in W/m²) delivered to the cell? Show your calculation. c. What are the maximum values of the electric and magnetic fields in the pulse?

Here is a simplified mathematical formula for such a spherical wave (simplified meaning that it is accurate for large distances from the origin) sine Ē(r,0,0,t) = A² -cos(kr-cot) Why would we call this a "spherical wave"? Describe it in words or pictures as best you can. Far from the origin, how is it similar to/different from a polarized traveling plane wave? - Show that this wave satisfies Gauss' law in free space. Then use Faraday's law to find the formula for the corresponding magnetic field.
