Solve the following problem given below:

Problem: Assume you observe the Moon under ideal conditions, both with your naked eye and by using the telescope at Mount Palomar. The diameter of your pupil at night is 4.78 mm, and the diameter of the telescope is 200 inches (5.08 m).

Part A: Estimate the linear distance between two features on the Moon that can just be resolved by

(a) Your eye and

(b) The telescope.

Please show me how you do the problem, and Take the distance to the Moon to be 3.84×108 m and the wavelength of light as 5.50×107 tm.
