a) Estimate the limiting angle of resolution for this eye, assuming its resolution is limited only by diffraction.

b) Determine the minimum separation distance d between two point sources that the eye can distinguish if the point sources are a distance L = 25 cm from the observe
c)
Find what diameter the pupil of a human eye must have for its limiting angle of resolution to be 0.6 minutes of arc (equal to 1.75 ✕ 10−4 rad) when the light has a wavelength of 515 nm. Assume that diffraction is the only limitation on resolution. Express your answer in millimeters.
