Explanation:
[tex]\theta=1.22 \frac{\lambda}{D}[/tex]
And, from equation ( 2 ), we get
[tex]\theta=\frac{x}{d}[/tex]
Thus,
[tex]\frac{x}{d} &=1.22 \frac{\lambda}{D}[/tex]
[tex]D &=1.22 \frac{\lambda d}{x}[/tex]
[tex]=1.22 \frac{550 \times 10^{-9} 3.84 \times 10^{8}}{5 \times 10^{3}}[/tex]
[tex]=0.0515 \mathrm{m}[/tex]
Thus, the diameter of the telescope's mirror that would allow us to see details as small as is
