Diffraction and resolution

What Diffraction and resolution means in Physics A-Level, as defined for AQA.

Definition of Diffraction and resolution

Check what you remember

Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Diffraction and resolution in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.

Reference: AQA

Both types of telescope are diffraction-limited, so angular resolution improves as the aperture diameter increases and as the observed wavelength decreases.
