AIPMT PRELIMS 2002 Physics Resolving Power MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Diameter of human eye lens is 2 mm. What will be the minimum distance between two points to resolve them, which are situated at a distance of 50 meter from eye. The wavelength of light is 5000 Å :

A

2.32 m

B

4.28 mm

C

1.25 cm

D

12.48 cm

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Using the formula for resolving power of a lens, θ = 1.22 λ/D, where λ is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the lens, we find the minimum distance.
