Theoretical round. Problems to solve · 8 ноември 2009 г.
Бележка
Maybe not all problems have correct questions. Some questions (maybe the main question of the problem, maybe one of the subquestions) may have no real sense. In this case you have to write in your answer (in English or Russian): “impossible situation – ситуация невозможна”. Of course, this answer has to be explained numerically or logically.
Data from the table of planetary data may be used for solving every problem.
The answers «Да-Yes» or «Нет-No» has to be written in English or Russian.
Note for jury and team leaders.
The proposed sketches are not full: the team leaders have to give more detailed explanations for students. But the correct solutions in the students’ papers (enough for 8 pts) may be shorter.

Бележки от източника
The original two-up official key photographs clip some right-hand line endings. Ellipses mark those unreadable endings; visible formulae and printed numerical values are retained. The reference table gives the Eris period as 204862 days, whereas the key uses 204852 days. Original inline slash notation is retained in the key. The photographed alpha masthead is cropped, but the original filename and distinct alpha tasks in the official key establish its group.
Условие
Estimate the theoretical limit of the maximum magnitude of stars that the human eye can see under very optimal conditions. Take into account that the eye's retina “remembers” the image about 1/7 of a second. A star sends us about photons/m every second.
Решение
For detecting a star the human retina should uninterruptedly remember the image of the star. That is the eye should receive from this star at least 7 photons per second. Human eyepiece is about in the very dark. So the limit of illumination is:
It is about less than the illumination from star. In stellar magnitudes the difference is:
So the theoretical limit for human eye in the very dark is to see stars of . Of course, it is quite far from reality. Nobody reported about possibility to see stars fainter than even in the absolute dark.
