When the wavelengths of light used in optical instruments $A$ and $B$ are $4500 \, \text{Å}$ and $6000 \, \text{Å}$ respectively, the ratio of the resolving power of $A$ to $B$ will be:

  • A
    $16:9$
  • B
    $7:1$
  • C
    $9:16$
  • D
    $4:3$

Assuming the human pupil to have a radius of $0.25 \ cm$ and a comfortable viewing distance of $25 \ cm$,the minimum separation between two objects that the human eye can resolve at $500 \ nm$ wavelength is..... $\mu m$.

The human eye has an approximate angular resolution of $\phi = 5.8 \times 10^{-4} \, rad$ and a typical photoprinter prints a minimum of $300 \, dpi$ (dots per inch, $1 \, inch = 2.54 \, cm$). At what minimal distance $z$ should a printed page be held so that one does not see the individual dots?
