Line 86:
This formula, for light with a wavelength of about 562 nm, is also called the [[Dawes' limit]].
 
One unit for angular resolution in this case of Gaussian dispersion from astronomical seeing is the ''[[half-power diameter]]'', which is the angular diameter in which half of the power from a telescope is centered.<ref>{{Cite web |title=5.
