GO Floaters . The floaters you see when viewing a bright, featureless background are diffraction patterns of defects in the vitreous humor that fills most of your eye. Sighting through a pinhole sharpens the diffraction pattern. If you also view a small circular dot, you can approximate the defect’s size. Assume that the defect diffracts light as a circular aperture does. Adjust the dot’s distance L from your eye (or eye lens) until the dot and the circle of the first minimum in the diffraction pattern appear to have the same size in your view. That is, until they have the same diameter D ʹ on the retina at distance L ʹ = 2.0 cm from the front of the eye, as suggested in Fig. 36-42 a , where the angles on the two sides of the eye lens are equal. Assume that the wavelength of visible light is λ = 550 nm. If the dot has diameter D = 2.0 mm and is distance L = 45.0 cm from the eye and the defect is x = 6.0 mm in front of the retina (Fig. 36-42 b ), what is the diameter of the defect?

In a naval battle, a battleship is attempting to fire on a destroyer. The battleship is a distance
d1 = 2,150 m
to the east of the peak of a mountain on an island, as shown in the figure below. The destroyer is attempting to evade cannon shells fired from the battleship by hiding on the west side of the island. The initial speed of the shells that the battleship fires is
vi = 245 m/s.
The peak of the mountain is
h = 1,840 m
above sea level, and the western shore of the island is a horizontal distance
d2 = 250 m
from the peak. What are the distances (in m), as measured from the western shore of the island, at which the destroyer will be safe from fire from the battleship? (Note the figure is not to scale. You may assume that the height and width of the destroyer are small compared to d1 and h.)
