The pupil of the eye is the circular opening through which light enters. Its diameter can vary from about 8.00 mm to about 2.00

mm to control the intensity of the light reaching the interior. Calculate the angular resolution, ?R, of the eye for light that has a wavelength of 543 nm in both bright light and dim light.Dim light=______0 Bright light=__________0 At which light level is diffraction less of a limiting factor in the sharpness of your vision?A)BrightB) DimC) More information is needed to answerD) Diffraction is equally a factor in both intensities of light

Answer:

0.0047^{\circ}

0.018978^{\circ}

B) Dim

Explanation:

\theta = Angle

a = Pupil diameter

\lambda = Wavelength = 543 nm

Angular resolution is given by

sin\theta=1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{a}\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{a}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(1.22\times \dfrac{543\times 10^{-9}}{8\times 10^{-3}}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=0.0047^{\circ}

For the dim light the angle is 0.0047^{\circ}

sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{a}\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{a}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(1.22\times \dfrac{543\times 10^{-9}}{2\times 10^{-3}}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=0.018978^{\circ}

For the bright light the angle is 0.018978^{\circ}

The angular separation and sharpness are inversely related. Here, the dim light will produce a sharp image.

Hence, option B is correct

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Multiplexer

Explanation:

-In electronics, a multiplexer, also known as a data, is a device that selects between several analog or digital input signals and forwards it to a single output line.

-This device combines multiple circuits at one end of a connection into a single complex circuit on a single wire.

-The selected signals is then transmitted at a higher speed.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the door that leads to the room is opened, this gives room for particles to move into the next identical room and divided into octants. Now the amount of space that can be occupied becomes double, the number of basic states has increased by 404916

A 0.1m/s^2
T 2min (120 sec)

S=ut+0.5at^2
S=0(120 sec)+0.5(0.1m/s^2)(120 sec)^2
S=720m

Distance double 720m*2=1440m

V^2=u^2+2as
V^2=(0)^2+2(0.1 m/s^2)(1440m)
V^2=288
V= square root of 288=12 root 2=16.97 to 2 decimal places
