Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 53EAP
Diffraction Limit of the Eye.
- Calculate the diffraction limit of the human eye, assuming a wide-open pupil so that your eye acts like a lens with a diameter of 0.8 centimeter, for visible light of 500- nanometer wavelength. How does this compare to the diffraction limit of a 10-meter telescope?
- Now remember that humans have two eyes that are approximately 7 centimeters apart. Estimate the diffraction limit for human vision, assuming that your two eyes act as an “optical interferometer” that gives you the angular resolution of a single “eye” that is 7 centimeters in diameter.

Problem 4) A particle is being pushed up a smooth slot by a rod. At the instant when 0 = rad,
the angular speed of the arm is ė = 1 rad/sec, and the angular acceleration is = 2 rad/sec².
What is the net force acting on the 1 kg particle at this instant? Express your answer as a vector
in cylindrical coordinates. Hint: You can express the radial coordinate as a function of the angle
by observing a right triangle. (20 pts)
