For telescopes of the same size: if the wavelength gets longer, the maximum theoretical angular resolution gets larger (i.e., worse).

What is blueshift?

A blueshift is a change in the wavelength of light, in which the wavelength is shorter than it was when it was emitted at the source.


How do you increase the angular velocity of a rotating object?

Angular velocity just means how fast it's rotating. If youaa want more angular velocity, just rotate it faster or decrease the radius (move it closer to the center of rotation). Just like force = rate of change of momentum, you have torque= rate of change of angular moment Or We can increase the angular velocity of a rotating particle by applying a tangential force(i.e. accelaration) on the particle. Since the velocity of the particle is tangential with the circle along which it is moving, the tangential accelaration will not change the diriction of the velocity(as angle is 0),but will cause a change in magnitude. Thus angular velocity will increase.


The angular momentum of the earth is constant?

More or less. There is a law of conservation of angular momentum, according to which Earth can't gain or lose angular momentum on its own - if for example it loses angular momentum, it has to go somewhere. A meteor who falls into the Earth, or a rocket leaving the Earth can change Earth's angular momentum - but the total angular momentum (e.g., of the system meteor + Earth) is the same, before and after the impact.


What quantities are needed to calculate angular momentum?

"Rate of change" means that you divide something by time ("per unit time" or "per second"), so you would use the units of angular momentum, divided by seconds.I am not aware of any special name for this concept.


How does wavelength change if the frequency of a wave is multiplied by 1.5?

The wavelength shortens by 1 / 1.5 or 2/3 (0.667)

Define angular impulse?

Angular impulse is defined as the rate-of-change of the angular acceleration.


What is angular acceleration?

Angular acceleration is the trate of change of angular velocity, often represented by the letter alpha.


Solution and answer of angular velocity?

It is the rate of change - with respect to time - of the angular displacement.


What is the relation between torque and angular momentum?

Torque is the rate of change of angular momentum.


What is Angular velocity equal too?

Angular velocity is equal to the change in theta / change in time theta equals the arc length/ radius


How do you adjust crossfire sreen resolution to wide screen?

First of all crossfire has to support the resolution that you want to change it to, to change the resolution, go on options, and you can change the resolution from there

Is angular speed the same as angular acceleration?

No. Acceleration and speed are related in the same way irrespective of being linear or angular. Acceleration is rate of change of speed.


What is the formula for the angular velocity?

There are several, what is it that you want to calculate? The "natural" units for angular velocity are radians/second. The relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity is especially simple in this case: linear velocity (at the edge) = angular velocity x radius.
