Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the distance at which ray optics is a good approximation given an aperture of 2 mm and a wavelength of 600 nm, we will use the concept of the Fresnel distance. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Aperture (a) = 2 mm = \(2 \times 10^{-3}\) m - Wavelength (\(\lambda\)) = 600 nm = \(600 \times 10^{-9}\) m ...
