The double star system Yasmin is observing is 4.2 * 10^16 m from earth and the two stars are separated from each other with 2.6 *10^11 m. Assuming that the average wave light of light emitted by the stars is 500 nm, estimate the diameter of the objective lens of the telescope that would just enable the two stars to be distinguished.
