Miscellaneous: Practice Problem & Solution

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Miscellaneous. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

The angular resolution limit is $\theta = \frac{1.22 \lambda}{D} = \frac{1.22 \times 5000 \times 10^{-10}}{10 \times 10^{-2}} = \frac{1.22 \times 5 \times 10^{-7}}{10^{-1}} = 6.1 \times 10^{-6} rad$. This is of the order of $10^{-6} rad$.
