The numerical aperture of a microscope is $0.12$, and the wavelength of light used is $600 \, nm$. Then its limit of resolution will be nearly $............. \, \mu m$.

The limit of resolution of a telescope is $3.0 \times 10^{-7} \text{ rad}$. Assuming that it is used to see the light of wavelength $525 \text{ nm}$ from a star, what should be the diameter of the objective (in $\text{ m}$)?

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
