The limit of resolution of a telescope is $2.5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ rad}$. If the telescope is used to detect light of wavelength $500 \text{ nm}$ coming from a star, the diameter of the objective lens used by the telescope is: (in $\text{ cm}$)

$A$ man can clearly see two poles at a distance of $11 \, km$. What should be the minimum distance between the poles in $m$?

The human eye has an approximate angular resolution of $\phi = 5.8 \times 10^{-4} \, rad$ and a typical photoprinter prints a minimum of $300 \, dpi$ (dots per inch, $1 \, inch = 2.54 \, cm$). At what minimal distance $z$ should a printed page be held so that one does not see the individual dots?

In an optical instrument- microscope, the wavelengths of light used are $\lambda_1 = 6800 \text{ Å}$ and $\lambda_2 = 5100 \text{ Å}$. The ratio of the resolving power of the microscope corresponding to $\lambda_1$ to that for $\lambda_2$ is
