When dots are placed on a page from a laser printer, they must be close enough so that you do not see the individual dots of ink. To do this, the separation of the dots must be less than Raleigh’s criterion. Take the pupilof the eye to be 3.0 mm and the distance from the paper to the eye of 35 cm; find the minimum separation of two dots such that they cannot be resolved. How many dots per inch (dpi) does this correspond to?

What’s more, he claims that he can do this without the aid of a telescopic sight on his rifl e. (a) Determine the diameter of the pupils of hiseyes that would be required for him to be able to resolve the squirrels asseparate objects. In this calculation use a wavelength of 498 nm (in vacuum) for the light. (b) State whether his claim is reasonable, and providea reason for your answer. In evaluating his claim, consider that the humaneye automatically adjusts the diameter of its pupil over a typical range of2 to 8 mm, the larger values coming into play as the lighting becomesdarker. Note also that under dark conditions, the eye is most sensitive toa wavelength of 498 nm.arrow_forward
- Poke a hole in a piece of paper, hold it in sunlight so that the solar image is the same size as a coin on the ground, and then determine how many coins would fit between th ground and the pinhole. That's the same number of solar diameters that would fit in the distance from Earth to the Sun. (Do you remember this exercise from Chapter?)arrow_forwardThe fish in a pond is 15 m from the shore.

- A small drop of water that is free to fall in air will contract into a spherical ball. Suppose that sunlight (this will be as if from infinity) passes into the drop. Approximately where will an image of the Sun form? Water has an index of refraction of about 1.33 for visible light, and to answer this question consider what happens when light passes through the first surface from air into the water. Where does it go? Hint: If in doubt about your math, try an experiment at home. You can use sunlight or a distant flashlight to illuminate a suspended water drop. At the back surface of the drop. Spherical drops cannot form an image. Close to the back far side of the drop, on the outside. Close to the back side of the drop, on the insidearrow_forwardRay optics is based on the assumption that light travels in a straight line. Diffraction effects (observed when light propagates through small apertures/slits or around small obstacles) disprove this assumption. Yet the ray optics assumption is so commonly used in understanding location and several other properties of images in optical instruments.
