Two point white dots are1 mmapart on a black paper. They are viewed by an eye of pupil diameter3 mm. Approximately, what is the maximum distance at which these dots can be resolved by the eye? [Take wavelength of light =500 nm]

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Resolution limit=1.22λd
Again resolution limit=sinθ=θ=yD
∴ yD=1·22λd

D=yd1.22λ

D=10-3×3×10-31.22×5×10-7=306.1≈5 m.
