Diffraction-Limited Angular Resolution Calculator

Calculate Rayleigh angular resolution from wavelength and aperture diameter.

Formula

θ = 1.22·λ/D

Source / method note

Uses the Rayleigh criterion θ = 1.22λ/D for a circular aperture.

Legal / official rate note

Atmospheric conditions and optical imperfections can worsen real-system resolution.
