ntProblemD 91371059 Part A Using Rayleigh's criterion, what is the smallest separation between two pointike objects that a person could clearly resolve at his near point of 22 5 cm with a pupil Gameter of 1.80 mm ? Assume thar the ight has a wavelength of 506 nm (To get a reasonable estimate without having to go through complicaled calculations, we'l ignore the effect of the flud in the eye) Express your answer in micrometers to three significant figures x Incorrect: Try Again; 3 attempts remaining Part B Based upon your answer does it seem that diftraction plays a significant role in liting our visual acuity? O Yes ?No ^ )??4/11/2018 Home End nsert elee 912Explanation / Answer
a)
? = 1.22 ?/D
D = pupil diameter
Because ? is small >>>> ? = d/L
>>>> d = L * ?
= L * (1.22 ?/D)
= 0.225 * (1.22*506e-9/(1.80e-3))
= 0.0772 mm
---------------------------------
b)
No because answer part (a) hss a smallest separation between two pointlike objects that a person could not resolve .
