Assume that you have a telescope with an aperture of 1 meter. Compare the telescope’s theoretical resolution when you are observing in the near-infrared region of the spectrum (l 5 1,000 nm) with that when you are observing in the violet region of the spectrum (l 5 400 nm).

A2 = 0.106 A1

Hence, the reolution with lower wavelength is lower.

Explanation:

We know that the angular resolution of the telescope is given by

A = lambda/D

where lambda is wavelength and D is aperture diameter

since aperture diameter is constant , therefore

A2 /A1 = lambda2 /lambda1

A2 /A1 = 5400 /51000 =0.106

A2 = 0.106 A1

hence the reolution with lower wavelength is lower

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
