Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Diffraction: Problem 35
35 Find the separation of two points on the Moon’s surface that can just be resolved by the 200 in. (= 5.1 m) telescope at Mount Palomar, assuming that this separation is determined by diffraction effects. The distance from Earth to the Moon is 3.8 × 10^5 km. Assume a wavelength of 550 nm for the light.
📝 Solution Approach
Given: 200 in, 5.1 m, 5 km
