Assignment 6 Problem 6.44 20 of 24 > Constants |Periodic Table Part A What angular resolution would you need to see the Sun and Jupiter as distinct points of light? Express your answer using two significant figures Suppose you were looking at our own solar system from a distance of 12 light-years. jupiter Submit Request Answer Part B What angular resolution would you need to see the Sun and Earth as distinct points of light? Express your answer using two significant figures. ft Earth Submit Request Answer

Explanation / Answer

Angular sepration is given by s/2 ?D ×3600 where s is actual sepration D is distance of observer.This angular sepration forms the resolution of telescope.

Now distance between Sun and jupiter in light years is =.00008233 light years

Now angular sepration in degree=.0000823/(2×3.14×12)×360

=3.93×10-4 degree

Similarly for earth angular sepration is .0000158/(2×3.14×12)×360

=7.54×10-4 degree
