3.-1 points SerPSE9 38.P.016. My Notes + Ask Your Teacher A pinhole camera has a small circular aperture of diameter D. Light from distant objects passes through the aperture into an otherwise dark box, falling on a screen at the other end of the box. The aperture in a pinhole camera has diameter D = 0.600 mm. Two point sources of light of wavelength 580 nm are at a distance L from the hole. The separation between the sources is 3.40 cm, and they are just resolved by the camera. What is L? Need Help?

Explanation / Answer

d = 0.60 mm
= 580 nm, y = 3.4 cm

    sin = 1.22 ( / d)
    = 1.179*10^-3
    tan = =y / L
           = 1.179*10^-3

L = y/

L = .034/1.179*10^-3

L = 28.84 m
