Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To estimate the distance for which ray optics is a good approximation for an aperture of 4 mm and a wavelength of 400 nm, we can use the concept of the Fresnel distance. The Fresnel distance (Zf) is given by the formula: \[ Z_f = \frac{a^2}{\lambda} \] where: - \( a \) is the size of the aperture, ...
