A telescope is used to observe two distant point sources


Solve the given problem:

Problem: A telescope is used to observe two distant point sources transversely 2.45m apart with light of wavelength 596nm. The objective of the telescope is covered with a slit of width 0.342mm.

Part I: What is the maximum distance in meters at which the two sources may be distinguished if the resolution is diffraction limited and Rayleigh's criterion is used?

s = ___________km
