Estimate the distance for which ray optics is good approximately for an aperture of 2mm and wavelength 500 nm.
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
Ray optics is good approximation upto Fresnel distance, `Z_(F) = (a^(2))/(lambda) = (4 xx 10^(-3))^(2)/(400 xx 10^(-9)) = (16 xx 10^(-6))/(4 xx 10^(-7)) = 40m`
