The pupil of the human eye can vary in diameter from 2.00 mm in bright light to 8.00 mm in dim light. The eye has a focal length

of about 25 mm, and the visible spectrum extends from 390 nm (violet) to 750 nm (red). Note that the light-sensitive cells on the retina have radii ranging from 0.75 μm to 3.0 μm.

The indicated data are of clear understanding for the development of Airy's theory. In optics this phenomenon is described as an optical phenomenon in which The Light, due to its undulatory nature, tends to diffract when it passes through a circular opening.

The formula used for the radius of the Airy disk is given by,

y_r=1.22\frac{\lambda f}{d}

Where,

y_r = Range of the radius

\lambda = wavelength

f= focal length

Our values are given by,

State 1:

d=2.00mm = 2*10^{-3}m

f= 25mm = 25*10^{-3}m

\lambda = 750nm = 750*10^{-9}m

State 2:

d=8.00mm = 8*10^{-3}m

f= 25mm = 25*10^{-3}m

\lambda = 390nm = 390*10^{-9}

Replacing in the first equation we have:

y_{r1} = 1.22\frac{(750*10^{-9})(25*10^{-3})}{2*10^{-3}}

y_{r1}= 11.4\mu m

And also for,

y_{r2} =1.22\frac{(390*10^{-9})(25*10^{-3})}{8*10^{-3}}

y_{r2} = 1.49\mu m

Therefor, the airy disk radius ranges from 1.49\mu m to 11.4\mu m

A firefighter of mass 81 kg slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 3 m/s 2 . The acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s
natima [27]

Answer:

The force of friction that acts on him is

F_k=567N

Explanation:

The firefighter with an acceleration of 3m/s^2 take the gravity acceleration as 10m/s^2 isn't necessary to know the coefficient of friction just to know the force of friction:

F=m*a

F=F_w-F_k

m*a=F_w-F_k

F_w=81kg*10m/s^2=810N

Sole to Fk

81kg*3m/s^2=810N-F_k

F_k=810N-243N

F_k=567N

Light from a 560 nm monochromatic source is incident upon the surface of fused quartz (n=1. 56) at an angle of 60°. what is the
ankoles [38]

The angle of reflection is "60°".

Here we apply the law of the concept of reflection then we get the final answer easily.

The angle of incident = angle of reflection

Then, the Angle of the incident =60°

What is reflection?

  • Reflection is the phenomenon of light rays returning to the source after striking an obstruction.
  • It resembles the way a ball bounces when we toss it on a hard surface.
  • Some of the light rays that strike an item are reflected, some of them travel through it, and the remainder are absorbed by the object.
  • The given values are:Light from a monochromatic source,= 560 nm
  • The angle of incidence,= 60°
  • The surface of fused quartz (n),= 1.56
  • When a light ray does exist on a flat surface, the law or idea of reflection should apply since it includes both the reflected and "normal" light rays at the mirror surface.
  • According to the above law,Angle of incident = angle of reflection
  • Then, Angle of incident =60°.
