For what distance is ray optics a good approximation when the aperture is 4 mm wide and the wavelength is 500 nm?

A

22 m

B

32 m

C

42 m

D

52 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Fresnel distance, `z_(F)=(a^(2))/(lambda)=((4xx10^(-3))^(2))/(500 xx 10^(-9))`
` :. z_(F)=32m`
