The lens of a telescope has a diameter of 25 cm. You are using it to look at two stars that are 2 × 1017 m away from you and 6 × 109 m from each other. You are measuring light with a wavelength of 700 nm. As the light goes through the lens, it diffracts.
a. Is it possible, using this telescope, to see the two stars as separate stars? (1 point)
b. What is the minimum possible lens diameter you would need in order to resolve these two stars? (1
