    Answer:

    = 4.96cm

    Explanation:

    distance between objects of moon = 5.20km = 5.2 × 10³ m

    Wavelength of light, λ = 550nm = 5.50 × 10⁻⁷m

    distance of moon, L = 384000 km = 3.84 × 10⁸m

    formula for resolving power of two objects

    d = (1.22 × λ ×L) / D

    D = (1.22 × λ ×L) / d

    D = (1.22 × 5.50 × 10⁻⁷ ×3.84 × 10⁸) / 5.2 × 10³

    D = 4.96cm
