Homework Statement
Suppose you wanted to be able to see astronauts on the moon. What is the smallest diameter of the objective lens required to resolve a 0.68 m object on the moon?
Homework Equations
I was told to use Rayleigh's Criterion but i do not see how to relate the equation
θmin = 1.22λ/D where theta is the minimum resolvable angle, lambda is the wavelength and D is diameter?
The Attempt at a Solution
Didn't even know where to start, any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks
