When reading the printout from a laser printer, you are actually looking at an array of tiny dots.

Answer:

The value is $y = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the pupil is $d_p = 4.2 \ mm = 4.2 *10^{-3} \ m$

The distance of the page from the eye $d = 29 \ cm = 0.29 \ m$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 500 \ nm = 500 *10^{-9} \ m$

The refractive index is $n_r = 1.36$

Generally the minimum separation of adjacent dots that can be resolved is mathematically represented as

$y = [ \frac{1.22 * \lambda }{d_p * n_r } ]* d$

$y = [ \frac{1.22 * 500 *10^{-9} }{4.2 *10^{-3} * 1.36} ]* 0.29$

$y = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \ m$

Why do we use the hydrogen spectrum to identify if a star is red or blue<br> shifted? *

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

But if you place a clear container filled with hydrogen gas between the flashlight and the prism, gaps appear in the smooth rainbow of colors, places where the light literally goes missing. The dark absorption lines of a star at rest (left) get shifted towards red if the star is moving away from Earth (right)
