Assuming human pupil to have a radius of 0.25 cm and a comfortable viewing distance of 25 cm, the minimum separation between two objects that human eye can resolve at 500 nm wavelength is :

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`(d_(0))/(d_(1)) = theta = (1.22 lambda)/(d)`
`d_(0) = (1.22 xx 500 xx 10^(-9))/(0.5 xx 10^(-2)) xx 25 xx 10^(-2)`
`d_(0) = 1.22 xx 25 xx 10^(-6)`
`d_(0) = 30 mum`

An eye can distinguish between two points of an object if they are separated by more than 0.22 mm when the object is placed at 25 cm from the eye. The object is now seen by a compound microscope having a 20 D objective and 10 D eyepiece separated by a distance of 20 cm. The final image is formed at 25 cm from the eye. What is the minimum separation between two points of the object which can now be distinguished?
