Question

   The headlights on a certain car aremeasured to be 1.1 m apart. The diameterof the pupil in a human eye is 2.5 mm. What is the FURTHEST DISTANCE at which a human eye could clearlysee the headlights as 2 seperate lights? Use a wavelength of617 nm/wave. ?? m    The headlights on a certain car aremeasured to be 1.1 m apart. The diameterof the pupil in a human eye is 2.5 mm.

Explanation / Answer

Separation fo headlights x = 1.1 m

Diameter of eye d = 2.5 * 10 ^ -3 m

Wavelength   = 617 * 10 ^ -9 m
