Two metal spheres, each of radius 3.1 cm, have a center-to-center separation of 2.4 m. Sphere 1 has a charge of +1.4×10−8 C; sphere 2 has a charge of −3.7×10−8 C. Assume that the separation is large enough for us to assume that the charge on each sphere is uniformly distributed (the spheres do not affect each other). With V = 0 at infinity, calculate in volts (a) the potential at the point halfway between their centers and the potential on the surface of (b) sphere 1 and (c) sphere 2. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units

(a) What is the angular separation of two stars if their images are barely resolved by a refracting telescope with a lens diameter of 83 cm and a focal length of 13 m. Assume λ = 550 nm. (b) Find the distance between these barely resolved stars if each of them is 13 light-years distant from Earth. (c) For the image of a single star in this telescope, find the diameter of the first dark ring in the diffraction pattern in meters, as measured on a photographic plate placed at the focal plane of the telescope lens. Assume that the structure of the image is associated entirely with diffraction at the lens aperture and not with lens "errors." (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units
