Physics · Optics and Interferometry
The angular width θ of a distant star is measured by a Michelson radiofrequency stellar interferometer. The distance h between the reflectors is increased until the interference fringes vanish for the first time. This happens at h = 3 m for a star emitting radiowaves of wavelength 2.7 cm. The measured value of θ (in degrees) is closest to
