How does sensor resolution relate to its angular resolution?
The angular size of the smallest features that the telescope can see ;-)
What is the purpose of interferometry?
It allows two or more smaller telescopes to achieve angular resolution of a much larger telescope.
What is the difference between angular velocity and angular momentum?
angular momentum and angular velocity
What is Difference between angular velocity and angular speed?
Angular velocity is a vector with a direction and angular speed is a scalar with no direction.
Can uniform angular velocity has acceleration?
No, uniform angular velocity means no angular acceleration.
How does sensor resolution relate to its angular resolution?
The angular size of the smallest features that the telescope can see ;-)
How does angular resolution change as observed wavelength gets longer?
For telescopes of the same size: if the wavelength gets longer, the maximum theoretical angular resolution gets larger (i.e., worse).
Why aren't stars blurry in the night sky?
Stars are very far away. Eyes just haven't got enough angular resolution. You can help it artificially with technology. Larger the thing, better the angular resolution.
What components of a telescope will produce the worst angular resolution?
the lens and eye piece
Which of the following greatly improves the angular resolution of radio maps?
Use of interferometers :)
What type of single telescope currently in operation has the highest angular resolution?
Optical
Interferometry uses two or more telescopes to achieve?
a light-collecting area equivalent to that of a much larger telescope.an angular resolution equivalent to that of a much larger telescope.both the light-collecting area and angular resolution of a much larger telescope.Correct answer: an anguar resolution equivalent to that of a much larger telescope. ;-)
Suppose the angular separation of two stars is samller than the angular resolution of your eyes How will the stars appear to your eyes?
Basically the stars will appear as a single star.
Our eyes can see light with an angular resolution of 1' Suppose our eyes detected only infrared radiation with 1degree angular resolution Would we be able to read or create technology etc?
Well, I figured this out on my own eventually so I guess I don't need someone else to answer it for me. I'll lay out the answer here for anyone else that runs across this and is curious. 60' = 1 degree. The angular resolution that our eyes can see (1') is about 1/3 mm at arm's length. multiply this by 60 to get to the proper angular resolution of infrared = 20 mm at arm's length. Reading would be rather impossible (that is, if we were trying to read the same things that we are now).

Does an optical telescope and a radio telescope of the same size have the same angular resolution?
no i hate when people just say no
What is the angular resolution of the eye?
about 1 arcminute, or 1/60 of a degree ;-) which equates to about 1/3 mm at arm's length
