To achieve this resolution, determine what wavelength should be used if the diameter of the primary mirror is 1.2 m. B.) A binary star system (two stars in orbit about each other) is 47 ly away. The two stars would just barely be able to be discerned by your telescope. Determine the minimum distance between the stars. 1 ly = 9.461 x 1015 m.arrow_forward

On a screen 2.72 1 50 m away from the slit, the distance between the first minima on either side of the central maximum is 4.98 2.35 mm. Determine the wavelength of light emitted by the laser. Answer in units nm.arrow_forwardQuestion Three Two aluminium samples, A and B, are to be examined using Bragg reflection. For sample A the first-order Bragg reflection from (111) planes occurs at an angle of 25°00', while for sample B the first order Bragg reflection from (111) planes was at 25°20'. Aluminium atoms are 1.8 x 10-10 m diameter and form an FCC structure. X-radiation of wavelength 1.52 x 10-10 m is used for the analysis of two samples of aluminium. Answer the following questions: (i) Calculate the lattice parameter of an aluminium atom. (ii) Calculate the interplanar distances for the two samples. (ii) Which sample shows pure aluminium, and what is the reason for the difference? (iv) Mention four uses of pure aluminium.arrow_forward
