Assume that the maximum separation of the EHT really was the diameter of the Earth: D = 1.2 x 10^7 meters. The typical wavelength observed was lambda = 1.3 mm = 0.0013 meters. Q: What was the diffraction limit of EHT? lambda 0.0013 m theta = ---------- = --------------- D 1.2 x 10^7 m = 1.0 x 10^(-10) radians = 2.1 x 10^(-5) arcseconds = 0.000 021 arcseconds
