While driving at night, your eyes' irises have dilated to 3.1-mm diameter.
If your vision were diffraction limited, what would be the greatest distance at which you could see as distinct the two headlights of an oncoming car, which are spaced 2.1 m apart? Take ?=550 nm

Assume your eye has an aperture diameter of 3.00 mm at night when bright headlights are pointed at it. 1) At what distance can you see two headlights separated by 1.30 m as distinct? Assume a wavelength of 550 nm, near the middle of the visible spectrum. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)

1. Traveling down a long, straight road late at night, a driver notices a light approaching in the distance. After a bit the driver notices that the single light has split into two distinct headlights. Estimate the maximum distance the approaching car can be assuming that the driver’s pupils are 4 mm in diameter, the approaching car’s headlights are 5 ft apart, the headlights emit primarily 580 nm wavelength light, and that the driver’s eyesight is diffraction limited. 2. After...

7.10 (a) A car is travelling towards you on a long straight road at night. Estimate the distance at which you can just resolve its headlights into two separate sources of light. Would the light from the two separate headlights produce any interfer- ence effects? (b) The Hubble Space Telescope has a diameter of 2.4 m. Determine its diffraction-limited angular resolution at a wavelength of 550 nm in radians and in degrees.
