Answer

The required wavelength is $~~648~nm$

Work Step by Step

We can write an expression for the angular separation: $\Delta \theta = \frac{\lambda}{d}$ We can see that the angular separation will increase by 10% if we increase the wavelength by 10% We can find the required wavelength: $(1.10)(589~nm) = 648~nm$ The required wavelength is $~~648~nm$
