Angular resolving power of human eye is

A

`3.6xx10^(3)`rad

B

`3.6xx10^(2)`rad

C

`3.6xx10^(4)`rad

D

`3.6xx10^(6)`rad

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
(a) The mjnimum angular separation between two objects, so that they are just resolved is called resolving limit. For eye it is `1=[1/60]^(@)`. Reciprocal of resolving limit is clled resolving power (RP),
`=1/(1/60)^(@)=1/(1/60xxpi/180)`
`10800/pi=3.436xx10^(3) rad`
