Problem 59P
The Resolution of Hubble The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) orbits Earth at an altitude of 613 km. It has an objective mirror that is 2.4 m in diameter. If the HST were to look down on Earth's surface (rather than up at the stars), what is the minimum separation of two objects that could be resolved using 550-nm light? [Note: The HST is used only for astronomical work, but a (classified) number of similar telescopes are in orbit for spy purposes.]
