Telescopes Infrared
Telescopes infrared What would the resolution of the instrument be in the infrared, at 9.6micrometers ? A space-based telescope can achieve a diffraction-limited angular resolution of 0.14″ for red light (wavelength 650 nm). What would the resolution of the instrument be in the ultraviolet, at 150nm ? Telescope resolution (called Rayleigh resolution) is calculated as [...]
