An astronaut in the space shuttle can just resolve two point sources on earth that are 65.0 in apart. Assume that the resolution is diffraction limited and use Rayleigh’s criterion. What is the astronaut’s altitude above the earth? Treat his eye as a circular aperture with a diameter of 4.00 mm (the diameter of his pupil), and take the wavelength of the light to be 550 nm. Ignore the effect of fluid in the eye.
