For the situation of the previous question, find the maximum distance at which the eye would be able to resolve the two headlights of a car which are at a distance of `1.5m`.

A

(a) `4000m`

B

(b) `1200nm`

C

(c) `600m`

D

(d) `25m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`theta=(1.5)/(D)`
`3.66xx10^-4=(1.5)/(D)`

`D=(1.5)/(3.66xx10^-4)~=4098m`.
