Diameter of human eye lens is $2 \mathrm{~mm}$. What will be the minimum distance between two points to resolve them, which are situated at a distance of $50 \mathrm{~m}$ from eye. The wavelength of light 5000 $Å$.
  1. $2.32 \mathrm{~m}$
  2. $4.28 \mathrm{~mm}$
  3. $1.25 \mathrm{~cm}$
  4. $12.48 \mathrm{~cm}$

Solution

For the aparture, limit of resolution $\begin{aligned} & \frac{y}{D} \geq \frac{\lambda}{d} \Rightarrow y \geq \frac{\lambda D}{d} \\ & y \geq \frac{5 \times 10^{-7}}{2 \times 10^{-3}} \times 50 \geq 1.25 \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned}$
