What diameter telescope objective would be necessary

Reference no: EM13551832

The planet Neptune is 4.17×1012 from the Earth. Its diameter is 5.02×107 m. What diameter telescope objective would be necessary to just barely see Neptune as a disk rather than as a point of light? Assume a wavelength of 620 nm.
