Angular resolution, an Uncommon card
Angular resolution describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.

Angular resolution quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Angular resolution card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
It is used in optics applied to light waves, in antenna theory applied to radio waves, and in ______ applied to sound waves.
Answer
acoustics. It is used in optics applied to light waves, in antenna theory applied to radio waves, and in acoustics applied to sound waves. From the Angular resolution article on Wikipedia.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Jack. Jack 110,000 · Biogeographic realm 74,000 · Angular resolution 58,000 · Clock face 39,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is used in optics applied to light waves, in antenna theory applied to radio waves, and in acoustics applied to sound waves.
- The colloquial use of the term "resolution" sometimes causes confusion, when an optical system is said to have a high resolution or high angular resolution, it means that the perceived distance, or actual angular distance, between resolved neighboring objects is small.
- The value that quantifies this property, θ, which is given by the Rayleigh criterion, is low for a system with a high resolution.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Angular resolution article was read about 58,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 65 and blocks with 39: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
How to get Angular resolution
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
