A 10-inch telescope (25.4 cm in diameter) is used to determine if what appears to be one star is actually two stars
Stars are so far away that they are essentially point sources. How close (in angle) can the two stars be and still be resolved by this telescope if it is focusing light of wavelength of 550 nm? (Consider only the limitation due to diffraction.) A) 6.6 × 10-8 degree B) 1.5 × 10-4 degree C) 2.6 × 10-6 degree D) 3.0 × 10-4 degree E) 4.2 × 10-8 degree
An electron is released such that its initial velocity is from right to left across this page. The electron's path, however, is deflected in a direction toward the bottom edge of the page due to the presence of a uniform magnetic field. What is the direction of this field?
a. from bottom edge to top edge of the page b. into the page c. from right to left across the page d. out of the page
