The world's largest refracting telescope is operated at the Yerkes Observatory in Wisconsin. It has an objective lens of diameter of 1.02 m.
 
  Suppose such an instrument were mounted on a satellite at an elevation of 300 km above the ground and used to map surface details. If the telescope is forming images with light of wavelength 550 nm, what is the minimum separation of two objects on the ground whose separation could be clearly resolved by this lens?

Question 2

An object is undergoing simple harmonic motion of amplitude 2.3 m. If the maximum velocity of the object is 10 m/s, what is the object's angular frequency?
 
  A) 4.3 rad/s
  B) 4.8 rad/s
  C) 3.5 rad/s
  D) 4.0 rad/s
