Find the separation between the stars

Reference no: EM13332325

Two stars located 22 light-years from Earth are barely resolved using a reflecting telescope having a mirror of diameter 66 cm. Assuming ? = 600 nm and assuming that the resolution is limited only by diffraction, find the separation between the stars.
