5. The resolving power of a telescope allows the viewer to see closely spaced objects as separate objects. Complete parts a - c. a. The images below represent a pair of dobely spaced starn referred to as a double utar. Uhers of small telescopes frequently test their telescopes by seeing if they can reselve this type of abject into separate points of light. Place a number 1 to 4 , below each image starting with 1 to indieate the pootest rewolving power. A. B. C. D. b. The resolviag power when looking at an extended object such as the galaxy below is usually ranked in terms of the detailed structure that ean be identified. In these pictures we have separate spiral arms and two small nearby galaxies. Place a number 1 to 4 , below each imake starting with 1 to indicate the peorest rerolving power. A. B. C. D. c. If the two stars in part a are separated by \( 0.8 \) seconds of arc, what is the theoretical aperture of the telescope that resolves them in visible light? (Hint: Use Dawe's limit.)
