Question

The pupil of an eagle’s eye has a diameter of D = 6.2 mm and has about the same refractive index in its eye as does a human eye. The average index of refraction of the material in the eye is approximately n = 1.36. The eagle spots two field mice are on the ground from an alitude of H = 120 m. the eagle sees them as one unresolved object and dives toward them at a speed of 22 m/s. Assume that the eagle’s eye detects light that has a wavelength of 555 nm in vacuum.

Determine how far apart the two mice must be on the ground for the eagle to see the mice as separate objects?

As a single crystal is rotated in an x-ray spectrometer (Fig. 3.22a), many parallel planes of atoms besides AA and BB produce strong diffracted beams. Two such planes are shown in Figure P3.38. (a) Determine geometrically the interplanar spacings d1 and d2 in terms of d0. (b) Find the angles (with respect to the surface plane AA) of the n = 1, 2, and 3 intensity maxima from planes with spacing d1. Let = 0.626 and d0 = 4.00 . Note that a given crystal structure (for example, cubic) has interplanar spacings with characteristic ratios, which produce characteristic diffraction patterns. In this way, measurement of the angular position of diffracted x-rays may be used to infer the crystal structure. Figure P3.38 Atomic planes in a cubic lattice.
