Sometime around 2024, astronomers at the European Southern Observatory hope to begin using the E-ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope), which is planned to have a primary mirror 42 m in diameter. Let us assume that the light it focuses has a wavelength of 550 nm. (a) What is the most distant Jupiter-sized planet the telescope could resolve, assuming its resolution is limited only by diffraction? Express your answer in meters and light years. (b) The nearest known exoplanets (planets beyond the solar system) are around 20 light years away. What would have to be the minimum diameter of an optical telescope to resolve a Jupiter-sized planet at that distance using light of wavelength 550 nm? ( 1 light year = 9.461 × 10 15 m )

You have been consulted by the mobile phone company hookup about a new augmented reality product called “brows”. they want to develop an alternative to google glasses, which, you recall, is a proposed new product which plans to superimpose a whole range of wireless google services over the user’s ordinary vision of the world. these appear in little circles and ovals, and let you phone people, take photographs, navigate across cities and inside buildings, find shops and update your social media. brows would do this too, but not be limited to special google services. the user would wear a small cylinder-shaped device designed to fit on top of their existing eyewear (glasses or sunglasses). it would project a reversed image onto the inside of the lenses, the reflection of which would be in focus for the user. instead of voice control, the user would control the device by eye and neck movements, which the device would track. the device would connect via bluetooth to the user’s phone, which would supply most of the computing power and wireless connectivity. hookup also wants to know what existing services would be most in demand, and which would not work well with brows. using your knowledge of augmented reality, wearable technology and interface design, is the project feasible? if not, why not? if feasible, how could the product need to be modified for a better experience?
