Two point white does are

\mathrm{1}\,\,\mathrm{mm}

apart on a black paper. They are viewed by eye of pupil diameter

\mathrm{3}\,\,\mathrm{mm}

. Approximately, what is the maximum distance at which these dots can be resolved by the eye? [Take wavelength of light

\mathrm{ = 500}\,\,\mathrm{nm}

]

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

\mathrm{5}\,\,\mathrm{m}

Option A (

\mathrm{5}\,\mathrm{m}

) is correct because it is calculated using the resolution limit formula.
