A human pupil has 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 for a light of 500 nm wavelength is:

a
1μm
b
30μm
c
100μm
d
300μm

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Resolving angle of naked eye is given by :θ=1.22λDy25×10−2=1.22×500×10−90.25×2×10−2y=30×10−6m=30μm
