Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To estimate the limit of resolution of a human eye for light of wavelength 500 nm, we can use the formula for the limit of resolution given by Rayleigh's criterion: \[ \text{Limit of Resolution} (R) = \frac{1.22 \lambda}{D} \] where: - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of light, ...
