Default Refracting telescope and minium angular size

How do I compute the smallest angular size which can be resolved given the
size of the refractor, when no wavelengths are given? Is there a simple
formula that does not involve wavelengths, or is there some standard
wavelength that is assumed if none is given?

Thanks for everyone's help in understanding this introductory astronomy
class.
