(a) Light from distant objects, such as stars, are imaged by a single lens. Assuming the focal length of the lens is 10 cm and the aperture size is 2 cm, what is the minimum resolvable angle? Write every step. (b) The same lens is used for imaging an amplitude grating. What is the minimum grating spacing that will yield any intensity variation(s) on the image plane using (i) coherent and (ii) incoherent illumination? Be very specific in your answer...

The Earth's magnetic field protects us from cosmic rays, which are extremely-high-energy subatomic particles generated by esoteric processes in interesting parts of the universe. To get an idea of how this protection might happen, pretend the earth's magnetic field has a constant value of 5.0 x 10^-5 T (northward) from the ground up to a height of 50 km. (a) Suppose a high-energy proton (charge +1.6 x 10^-19 C, mass 1.67 x 10^-27 kg) hits the top of the earths...
