===Diffraction of Light===

θ = 1.22λ/D

Where:
*λ is the wavelength of light in nanometers (nm)
*D is the aperture of the telescope in millimeters (mm)
*θ is the smallest angle resolvable in arcseconds (")

===Dawes' Limit===

Aperture in Millimeters
R = 116/D

Aperture in Inches
R = 4.56/D

Where:
*D is the aperture in specified units
*R is the resulting angle in arcseconds
