    Calculate the limit of resolution of a telescope objective having a diameter of 200 cm, if it has to detect light of wavelength 500 nm coming from a star :- [JEE Main 8-4-2019 Afternoon]

    A) \[305\text{ }\times \text{ }10-9\text{ }radian\]

    B) \[152.5\text{ }\times \text{ }10-9\text{ }radian\]

    C) \[610\text{ }\times \text{ }10-9\text{ }radian\]

    D) \[457.5\text{ }\times \text{ }10-9\text{ }radian\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Limit of resolution of telescope \[=\frac{1.22\lambda }{D}\] \[\theta =\frac{1.22\times 500\times {{10}^{-9}}}{200\times {{10}^{-2}}}=305\times {{10}^{-9}}\] radian
