Two stars are $10$ light years away from the Earth. They are seen through a telescope of objective diameter $30\, cm$. The wavelength of light is $600\, nm$. To see the stars just resolved by the telescope,the minimum distance between them should be ( $1$ light year $= 9.46 \times 10^{15}\, m$) of the order of

If an object kept at the least distance of distinct vision is just resolved with light of wavelength $500 \ nm$ and a pupil of diameter $1 \ mm$,at what distance will the object be just resolved if the wavelength is $400 \ nm$ and the pupil diameter is $0.8 \ mm$ (in $cm$)?

Assertion: The resolving power of a telescope is more if the diameter of the objective lens is more.
Reason: Objective lens of large diameter collects more light.

Our eye is most sensitive for which of the following wavelengths in $\mathring{A}$?

We use a simple microscope to magnify an object. The microscope has a numerical aperture of $\sin \alpha = 0.24$. The object is so small that the resolving power of the microscope is fully utilized. If the diameter of the eye's pupil is $d = 4.0 \ mm$ and the least distance of distinct vision is $D = 25 \ cm$,what is the minimum magnifying power of the microscope?

The resolving power of a microscope depends upon:
