Question

question 10 1 pts the angular separation of two stars is 0.1 arcseconds and you photograph them with a telescope that has an angular resolution of 1 arcsecond. what will you see? the photo will seem to show only one star rather than two. the stars will not show up at all in your photograph. you will see two distinct stars in your photograph. the two stars will appear to be touching, looking rather like a small dumbbell.

Explanation:

The angular resolution of a telescope is the smallest angular separation that it can distinguish. If the angular separation between two objects is less than the angular resolution of the telescope, the telescope will not be able to resolve them as separate objects. Here, the angular separation of the two stars (0.1 arcseconds) is less than the angular resolution of the telescope (1 arcsecond), so the telescope will not be able to distinguish them as two separate stars.

Answer:

The photo will seem to show only one star rather than two.
